How to grow Areca palm

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: Acidic soil is best for breeding, which is beneficial to plant growth. Home-based farming usually makes its own nutrient soil by mixing leaf mold, peat soil and an appropriate amount of river sand. If conditions permit, you can also add some base fertilizer.

2. Sunlight: It is suitable for growing in an environment with scattered light. Except for winter, it needs to be shaded to varying degrees. The sunlight is the strongest in summer, so it must not be exposed to direct sunlight. Whether you grow it indoors or outdoors, there is good light.

3. Water: The soil in the pot should be kept slightly moist during maintenance, and watering must be done after the soil is completely dry. Water more often when the weather gets hot. No matter when you water, there should be no accumulation of water in the potting soil.

4. Ventilation: Most flower lovers grow flowers indoors, so good ventilation should be done to avoid the growing environment being too stuffy. If the plants are allowed to grow in a hot and humid environment, they will attract diseases and pests.

2. Breeding Methods

1. Division method: It can be done when repotting, shake off the old soil, and cut from the connection with scissors. Apply wood ash on the cut site for disinfection. There should be 2-3 plants with roots on each clump, and then you can plant them separately.

2. Sowing method: Take out the seeds from the harvested fruits, soak them in warm water for 2 days, and then take them out and sow them.
