Growth habits of Areca palmAreca palm prefers a warm, humid, well-ventilated semi-shady environment. It is not cold-resistant, but is relatively shade-tolerant and cannot tolerate strong sunlight. It is suitable for growing in fertile soil rich in humus and with good drainage. The minimum temperature for wintering should be above 10℃. Cultivation method of Areca palm1. Soil Areca palm likes loose, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. If it is cultivated in potted plants, you can use humus or peat soil, 1/3 river sand or perlite to make the culture soil. To improve the fertility of the soil, you can apply some base fertilizer. 2. Watering The principle of watering Areca palm is "dry through, wet through". Pay attention to watering in time during the growing period to keep the soil moist. You can water it in the morning and evening when it grows vigorously in summer, and reduce watering after late autumn. Areca palm likes an environment with slightly higher air humidity, and the air humidity is best controlled between 70% and 80%. 3. Temperature Areca palm likes a warm environment, and the suitable temperature for its growth is 25-35℃. It has weak cold resistance and is very sensitive to low temperatures. The wintering temperature should be controlled above 10 degrees. If it is lower than 5 degrees, the plant will definitely be harmed, so it is necessary to take measures to keep warm in winter. 4. Sunlight Areca palm cannot tolerate strong sunlight exposure. Half of the sunlight should be blocked in summer. Even short-term exposure will cause the leaves to burn yellow and be difficult to recover. It should be placed in a place with sufficient scattered light indoors. Too much darkness is not good for the growth of Areca palm. Full sunlight can be provided in winter. Areca palm maintenance precautionsAreca palm needs to be repotted every 2-3 years. The roots can be trimmed when repotting. In addition, Areca palm is prone to pests, such as red spider mites and whiteflies. You can spray omethoate emulsifiable concentrate on the leaves and roots. |
