How to survive the winter

temperature

Areca palm likes to grow in places with warm climate and relatively humid environment, and is very uncomfortable with cold climate. Therefore, in winter, we need to ensure that the indoor temperature is above 10 degrees so that it can better survive the cold winter. If the temperature is too low in winter, the leaves of the Areca palm will be frostbitten, and even affect the survival rate of the entire plant.

illumination

During the day, the Areca palm should be placed in a place with good lighting conditions and ventilated environment for growth, avoiding strong sunlight. Areca palm grows best when the temperature is between 20 and 35 degrees.

Watering

In winter, you should reduce watering and keep the soil dry so that it can better dormant.

Fertilization

If the growth of Areca palm is relatively weak or poor in winter, fertilization should be stopped in time.

Maintenance methods

The temperature of Areca palm needs to be kept above 8 degrees at night in winter, which is beneficial to the survival of the plant. If you live in an environment below 5 degrees for a long time, you will suffer frostbite and death. When the plant is growing vigorously, we need to keep the soil moist and maintain a certain humidity. The number of fertilizations should also be increased accordingly to meet the nutritional needs during the growing season. When cleaning the leaves in winter, you can frequently wash and wipe the dust off the leaves to keep them in beautiful condition at all times.
