This may take a bit of trial and error. You\u2019ll want to check your plant daily to make sure that it\u2019s not too dry. Strive for moist soil but not soggy and you\u2019ll do well. During the cooler winter months you can allow the soil to dry out in between watering.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Soil:<\/strong> Very important to have well draining potting mix &#8211; generally palms needs special palm soil that is sandier than average houseplant soil.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Temperature:<\/strong> 16\u00b0C &#8211; 24\u00baC<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fertilizer:<\/strong> Balanced houseplant fertilizer applied every month (or even every two months) during the growing season<\/p>\n<p><strong>Humidity:<\/strong> Average humidity of 40-60% is perfect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pruning:<\/strong> You can prune the fronds from an areca palm to help all the leaves get enough light. Generally, these palms are not sensitive to pruning, and occasionally cutting off some fronds can help a mature plant reach its 10-year lifespan. It\u2019s not advisable to prune the brown tips off palm leaves. Snipping off the brown tips can cause the whole frond to die. So, only trim dead fronds if they have turned brown or look unsightly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Re-Potting:<\/strong> One of the reasons why indoor Areca Palms are easy to care for is that they rarely need repotting. While some houseplants need repotting every year, you can repot a golden palm every three years or less. Butterfly palms are planted in clumps and they form new clumps as they grow. Most palms thrive when they are slightly rootbound.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Propagation:<\/strong> Areca Palms spread by growing from their base clusters of offshoots or canes. To propagate your areca palm, remove an offshoot with some of the roots from the base of the plant using a knife. Place the roots in a bowl of water for an hour and then transfer into a pot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diseases and Pests:<\/strong> Arecas are susceptible to spider mites and mealybugs. Check frequently under the leaves to spot these pests early.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toxicity:<\/strong> Non-toxic to humans or animals.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Montserrat Alternates|900|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Montserrat Alternates|900|||||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">areca origins &amp; overview<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Areca Palm (Dypsis lutescens, formerly Chrysalidocarpus lutescens) comes from Madagascar where it grows in the wild. The Areca Palm is one of the most popular houseplant palms because it is inexpensive and easy to grow. <\/p>\n<p>With a smooth silver green trunk, the Areca Palm is topped by feathery fronds. These fronds grow in clusters or thick clumps. These clusters are approximately six to eight leaves, on long curving upward petioles. It gives them the appearance of butterflies. <\/p>\n<p>Since full grown Areca Palms are quite expensive, most people buy them when they are small and use them as a tabletop plant.<\/p>\n<p>Areca Palms grow approximately 15 to 25 cm annually until they reach their maturity at about 2 meters tall. They have a lifetime of approximately ten years provided they are well cared for.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Montserrat Alternates|900|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Montserrat Alternates|900|||||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">areca light requirements<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One of the most important factors in tending to your Areca Palm is to give it the proper amount of light.

The roots prefer a tight container but when they\u2019re too crowded, it will limit the size of the plant. By repotting the plant, you\u2019re going to be replacing the older potting soil that it\u2019s been living in for the past two to three years, and you\u2019ll be giving it newer nutrients that have been leeched out of the soil that it\u2019s been living in.<\/p>\n<p>When repotting your plant, be sure that you\u2019re potting it in the same depth as the previous pot. If you plant it too deeply it can cause serious injury to the roots and the rest of the plant. Roots can be very brittle so make sure that you\u2019re very gentle and don\u2019t even try to separate or spread them out.<\/p>\n<p>Gently pack the soil around the roots with your fingers and make sure that you\u2019re not over pressing the soil so that you won\u2019t break the fragile roots. After you\u2019ve pressed the soil in, water it deeply and  gently press the soil down again to remove any air pockets. Add more soil if required after pressing this soil down.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text ul_item_indent=&#8221;50px&#8221; ol_item_indent=&#8221;20px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Montserrat Alternates|900|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Montserrat Alternates|900|||||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">frequently asked questions for areca palms<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Why are the tips of my areca palm brown?<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Brown tips are a sign of stress and the most common issue for Arecas. Plant stress can be caused by a number of factors, here are the most common ones along with ways to diagnose and fix the issue.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Overwatering &#8211; Stick your finger in the soil up to the knuckle, is there a lot of soil sticking to your finger when you pull it out? Does the soil feel waterlogged? Was the plant ever standing in water? Then likely the soil may be too wet for the Areca Palm. Adjust your watering schedule accordingly and keep in mind if plants are overwatered for a long time then root rot might have already set in, which is very difficult to come back from.<\/li>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li>Underwatering &#8211; The other side of the coin. Does the soil feel bone dry? Is nothing sticking to your finger? Areca Palms like fairly moist, but not waterlogged soil most of the time, and once the soil dries out, they will start to show signs of stress.<\/li>\n<p>\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li>Insufficient light &#8211; Areca Palms need bright light to grow and thrive well. They are a medium light plant that grows beneath the canopy of larger trees in nature. For this reason, they like bright, but not direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can cause burning of the leaves, but it tends to be insufficient light that causes more problems. Low light conditions result in the plant not being able to sustain as much greenery, which results in brown tips and brown leaves on your Areca Palm as some of the leaves die back.<\/li>\n<p>\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li>Poor water quality &#8211; Palms can be quite sensitive to the minerals in our tap water, especially if you live in an area with hard water. Tap water contains salts, chlorine, minerals and fluoride \u2013 all of which can build up in the soil of your plant causing the tips of the leaves to burn and turn brown. One way you can remedy this is to use a water filtration system. If you do not have a water filter available, leaving your water in an open container or sink overnight before using it can help relieve some of the chlorine.<\/li>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li>Overfertilizing &#8211; Areca Palms will benefit greatly from a little fertilizer, but it\u2019s very easy to overdo it. Applying fertilizer too often or in too concentrated a form can cause symptoms of fertilizer burn, including brown tips on your Areca Palm. Over time, fertilizer salts can build up in the potting soil, which can lead to the same problem, even though you may be applying the fertilizer correctly. To prevent this, I always water my Areca Palm thoroughly, letting water run through the potting media and out of the drainage holes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are a few more things that can cause Areca Palms stress and lead to brown tips: low humidity (palms need 40-60%), repotting stress (if your palm was recently repotted this is the most likely culprit), temperature fluctuations (is your palm near a drafty window, an air vent or on a heated floor?) and lastly, pests (thoroughly check all the leaves and especially the intersections and crevices of the plant). <\/p>\n<p>You can cut off the brown edges to make the plant prettier, however, there&#8217;s a relatively high chance that the whole frond may die if you do that, so I would advise caution.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>why is my areca turning yellow?<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For the Areca Palm, yellowing leaves are most commonly a sign of either underwatering or too much direct light. First move it in a more shaded spot, and if that doesn&#8217;t fix the issue, adjust your watering schedule.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;
