What should I do if the leaves of the newly bought Areca palm are dry?

1. Avoid strong light

Reason: The plant is exposed to strong sunlight for a long time, especially in summer. It must not be placed on a sunny windowsill, as the leaves can easily be sunburned and dry out. Also, if you place it next to a heater in winter, it will dry out due to being burned all the time.

Treatment method: Ensure appropriate light every day, but avoid direct sunlight and move to a cool location in time. In winter, be careful not to place it too close to the heater. It can usually be placed indoors over the winter.

2. Increase humidity

Reason: It likes to grow in places with high humidity. If the breeding environment is too dry, the leaves will dry up and may even burn at the edges.

Treatment method: Spray water on the plants and the ground appropriately to ensure that the breeding environment has sufficiently high humidity. Usually, you should also spray water appropriately and provide adequate ventilation.

3. Reasonable fertilization

Reason: The concentration of fertilizer applied to it is too high, the roots of the plant cannot absorb it and will be burned, causing the leaves to dry up. In addition, if no fertilizer is applied for a long time or the fertilizer is used unbalancedly, some of the leaves may dry up.

Treatment method: If it is caused by concentrated fertilizer, you need to water it to allow the fertilizer to be discharged. If it is caused by lack of fertilizer, you need to apply some low-concentration fertilizer in time. Fertilization should be carried out reasonably at ordinary times, and it can be applied once every half a month or so.
