What to do if the leaves of Areca palm turn yellow? How to turn them green

1. Replace the soil

If the cultivation time is too long, the pH value of the loam will increase due to repeated watering, which will affect and hinder the absorption capacity of its roots. Or the loam may become too heavy and sticky to allow water to penetrate. You can change to new potting soil with a lower pH value. After about two weeks, the leaves will turn green.

2. Proper watering

Too much water is not good, and too little water is not good either. Too wet soil in the pot will seriously affect the respiration of the plant roots and hinder the absorption of water. If the weather is dry for a long time, the plant will not get enough water when growing, and the leaves will naturally start to turn yellow and wither. You can water less often at ordinary times, just make sure to water once or twice a day, and keep the surface of the potting soil slightly moist.

3. Maintain temperature

Too low temperature may cause it to suffer frostbite. In winter, it is necessary to keep warm and maintain around 10 degrees Celsius so that it can spend the winter safely.

4. Proper lighting

If it is not positioned correctly, direct sunlight will cause the edges to turn yellow and burnt. From May to September, it needs to be placed in a cool place away from direct sunlight. This way the leaves will appear green.
