Cultivation methods and precautions of Areca palm

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: When breeding, the substrate must have good drainage properties, and the addition of nutrients is also very important. You can add river sand and perlite to the selected substrate to increase its drainage performance. Be sure to avoid using soil that is too heavy, as this will stunt the growth of the plant.

2. Light: This plant is relatively shade-tolerant, but it is more suitable for growth if given correct and appropriate light. You can place it on the south balcony so that it can be exposed to sunlight on a daily basis. But in summer, the temperature will become very high and the light will be relatively strong, so you need to move it to the living room.

3. Watering: The amount of water for watering is different at different times. During the growing period, pay attention to timely watering, especially in summer, you can water it twice a day. However, starting from late autumn, you need to control watering. Excessive watering at this time will cause the roots to rot. Be careful to ensure that the plant is watered thoroughly each time. After rain in rainy weather, the water needs to be drained out in time.

2. Precautions

When breeding, we should pay more attention to the problems of diseases and pests and take timely prevention measures.
