ARECA PALM

Light:
☀️ Bright, indirect light. Areca palms thrive in moderate to bright light but should be kept out of direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Water:
💧 Keep the soil lightly moist, but not soggy. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Soil:
🌱 Well-draining, slightly acidic soil. A general potting mix with added perlite or sand for better drainage works well.

Temperature:
🌡️ Prefers warm temperatures between 65°F and 75°F (18°C - 24°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

Humidity:
💦 High humidity is preferred, but Areca Palm can adapt to average indoor humidity. Mist the leaves regularly or use a humidity tray if necessary.

Fertilizer:
🌼 Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth slows.

Pruning:
✂️ Trim any dead or yellowing fronds as needed. Remove older fronds at the base of the plant to maintain a clean appearance.
