Cultivation methods and precautions of betel nut trees

1. Soil

Areca palm trees are suitable for growing in thick, loose, water-retaining and matrix-rich soil. Brick red loam and sandy loam are the best choices, as this type of soil can provide it with sufficient nutrients.

2. Water

After planting, the soil should be kept moist and the plants should absorb enough water to grow well. Reasonable watering can greatly improve the survival rate of plants. Watering should be avoided when the temperature is relatively high at noon, as high temperature watering will cause damage to the plants.

3. Temperature

Because it is a plant that likes high temperatures, it is recommended to keep the temperature between 25-28℃ during normal growth. When the temperature is below 16℃, leaves will fall, and when the temperature is below 5℃, fruits will fall, so it is important to prevent cold during its growth period.

4. Lighting

Areca palm is a light-loving plant. As the plant grows, its light exposure time should be increased accordingly. Adequate light absorption is very helpful for its flowering and fruiting. Therefore, it is advisable to provide it with sufficient light during maintenance.
