What to do if the leaves of Areca palm are dry

1. Increase air humidity

1. Reason: It is a tropical plant and requires relatively high air humidity. If the air humidity does not meet the standard, the leaves will become dry.

2. Solution: Spray water mist on its branches and leaves in the morning, noon and evening to keep them moist.

2. Reduce light intensity

1. Reason: Areca palm likes sunlight, but if the sunlight is too strong, the leaves will dry up.

2. Solution: Areca palm is a sun-loving plant and needs more than eight hours of sunlight every day. When the sun is strong at noon, it needs to be properly shaded. This not only meets the lighting needs, but also prevents it from being burned by the sun.

3. Proper watering

1. Reason: Areca palm has a high demand for water, so insufficient watering will cause the leaves to dry out.

2. Solution: Water the plants two to three times a week, water thoroughly each time, and increase the watering frequency appropriately. Spray it with water mist every morning, noon and evening to keep the branches and leaves moist.

4. Apply light fertilizer

1. Reason: Areca palm likes fertilizer but not concentrated fertilizer, so avoid concentrated fertilizer when fertilizing.

2. Solution: During its growing period, fertilize once a week; during its dormant period, fertilize two to three times a month. If you are applying chemical fertilizer, you should keep it about ten centimeters away from the roots and not on the roots to avoid burning the roots. If you are applying animal manure, you should disinfect and wash your hands after application.
