Can the leaves of the Areca palm be cut if they are dry?

1. Can be trimmed

The drying of the leaves of the Areca palm may be caused by an unsuitable maintenance environment. When the leaves turn dead, they need to be cut off. Because these dead leaves do not contain chlorophyll or the chlorophyll content is very low, they are not only unable to carry out photosynthesis to synthesize nutrients to supply the plants, but will consume a certain amount of nutrients, so they can be cut off.

Additionally, leaving them on the plant will detract from its aesthetic appeal, so they can be removed for this reason.

2. Pruning method

Find the dead leaves and cut them off from the petiole with sterilized scissors, or pick them off directly with your hands. When pruning, be careful not to accidentally damage other healthy leaves.
