How often should I water the Areca palm?

1. Its requirements for water

Generally speaking, this kind of flower likes moisture. However, water cannot accumulate. So, we have to be more careful when watering.

2. General frequency

(1) Spring and Autumn: These two stages are similar. Temperature conditions are similar, and growth rates are similar. Therefore, the frequency can be controlled to about once a day.

(2) Summer: This season is the time of most vigorous growth, the evaporation is also fast, and it is also the time when the most water is needed. So, sometimes you need to water twice a day. However, although the frequency is high, the amount of water should not be too much. As we said above, no water should accumulate.

(3) Winter: This is the time when water demand is the least. At this time, there is generally no fixed frequency of water supply. 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.

3. Notes

(1) The frequencies we introduced above are all under general circumstances. In fact, the specific interval time does not need to be fixed. Because its water requirement is related to many factors. In addition to seasons, there is also climate and so on. Different regions have different specific situations. So, for the sake of science, we can observe the state of the soil and there won’t be any big problems.

(2) Generally speaking, you can water the plant more immediately after repotting it.

(3) It is important to keep in mind that water should not accumulate in the soil at any time.
