Cultivation method of Areca palm

1. Soil

Areca palm prefers soil with high nutrient content and good drainage. For home breeding, it is recommended that you mix leaf mold and peat soil in a 3:1 ratio, and then add a small amount of base fertilizer to it as its culture soil.

2. Lighting

Areca palm does not like too strong light, so when growing it, it needs to be placed in a place without direct sunlight. In summer, some methods need to be adopted to help it avoid direct sunlight. However, if you keep it in a dark place for a long time, it will not be able to grow normally, so the best way is to place it in a bright place indoors.

3. Temperature

Its optimal growth temperature is 25-35℃. It is very afraid of cold, so be extra careful in winter to avoid freezing it. It is best to place it in a room with higher indoor temperature and keep the temperature above 10℃ to ensure that it can safely overwinter.

4. Moisture

It likes relatively humid air conditions. When the weather is dry, you need to spray some water into the air and the ground around it to increase the air humidity. In addition, it likes slightly moist soil conditions, so you must pay attention to watering it regularly and do not let its soil dry out completely. It is best to water it when the soil surface begins to dry out, so that it will not lack water, nor will it cause growth problems due to too much water.
