How to care for the newly bought Areca palm

1. Change the soil

Areca palm has high requirements for soil quality, which must be well-drained, loose, breathable and rich in humus. But don't rush to change the soil of the newly bought Areca palm, because it has not yet adapted to the new environment and is relatively fragile. Wait until it has adapted before changing the soil. You can use leaf mold and peat soil to prepare the base soil.

2. Temperature

It is best to control the new temperature between 20-35 degrees, which is the most suitable temperature for the growth of Areca palm. It can also help Areca palm better adapt to the new environment.

3. Lighting

The newly bought Areca palm can first be exposed to some soft diffuse light. If it encounters direct strong sunlight, it should be moved immediately to avoid direct sunlight, because the plant is more fragile at this time and easily burned.

4. Humidity

It is necessary to maintain a certain humidity for the newly purchased Areca palm, because it likes moisture. If the environment is too dry, it will easily cause the leaves to dry out and burn, and it will be difficult for the plant to adapt. You can spray some water on the leaves of the plant or into the potting soil to increase the humidity.
