How often should I water the Areca palm in summer?

Frequency of watering Areca palm in summer

Areca palm likes moisture. The frequency of watering should be adjusted according to the specific season. It grows more vigorously in summer, so it can be watered twice a day. It can be watered three times a day outdoors in summer, but water cannot accumulate. Drainage measures need to be taken. Areca palm that has just been potted in summer should not be watered. At this time, it can be watered after its roots have adapted. The same applies to the newly planted Areca palm.

Key points for watering Areca palm in summer

1. Watering time

This season is the most vigorous growth period, evaporation is fast, and it is also the time when the most water is needed, so sometimes you need to water twice a day. Although the number of times is more, the amount of water should not be too much, and water should not accumulate.

2. Watering amount

When watering the Areca palm, you should follow the principle of "dry through and wet through". It should not be half dry and half wet. When watering, you must water it thoroughly so that the roots of the Areca palm can get nourishment from water.

3. Repotting and watering

Generally speaking, you can water the flower more after just repotting it. No matter what time, you should not allow water to accumulate in the soil. This should be kept in mind.

The correct way to water Areca palm

1. Spring and autumn: These two stages are similar, the temperature conditions are similar, and the growth rates are similar, so the frequency can be controlled at about once a day.
2. Winter: This is the time when the least water is needed. There is generally no fixed frequency of watering at this time. You can choose not to water it, or you can judge based on the dryness and wetness of the soil. If the soil is really dry, you can water it a little.
