How to repot Areca palm

Time to repot the Areca palm

The Areca palm needs to be repotted, mainly because the growth of the plant has caused the flowerpot to be too small, which is unable to coordinate with the plant and will cause its growth to be inhibited. It is best to repot it at this time.

The time to repot the Areca palm should be between late March and mid-September each year. If it is grown in a greenhouse, repotting can be done in all seasons.

After repotting the Areca palm, the pot should be placed in a slightly shaded area so that it can recover better and avoid wilting due to water loss.

How to repot the scattered tail

The general steps for repotting the Areca palm are to take out the plant, replace the potting soil, repot it, and then maintain it after potting.

When taking out the plant, you can gently tap the sides of the flowerpot with your hands so that the roots will be vibrated and separated from the flowerpot. Turn the flowerpot upside down, hold the plant gently with your hands, and then knock on the bottom of the flowerpot, and the plant will come out.

After taking out the plant, you need to prepare the potting soil again, choose a flowerpot of suitable size, then place tiles at the bottom of the flowerpot to promote drainage, then add expanded clay as a water filter layer, and then place fertilizer and soil in turn. Put a part of the soil first, then put the roots of the plant in, make sure the roots are well stretched, and then continue to fill the soil. After filling the soil, water it thoroughly.

It should be noted that Areca palm is often propagated by division in combination with repotting. Division is relatively simple and is mainly carried out around April.
