1. How to grow it to be lush

1. Soil: Areca palm is not suitable for growing in alkaline soil. If you want it to grow vigorously, you need to provide suitable soil for growth. The soil should be loose, fertile, well-drained, and preferably slightly acidic. The soil can be prepared with peat soil, river sand and base fertilizer, and the potting soil needs to be changed every two or three years.

2. Light: It prefers a semi-shaded environment and does require light, but it is better to be exposed to scattered light. It cannot be kept in a place without sunlight for a long time. Pay special attention in the summer, as strong sunlight can cause the leaves to burn and turn yellow, so be sure to block it.

3. Temperature: Areca palm grows well in a warm environment, and it is suitable to keep it at around 15-28 degrees. In winter, you should pay attention to keeping warm and prevent cold, and the temperature should be raised to above 10 degrees.

4. Watering: During its vigorous growth period, the soil in the pot needs to be kept moist. Pay special attention to timely replenishment of water in summer, and reduce watering in winter.

5. Fertilization: Lush growth is inseparable from the application of nutrients. During the period of rapid growth, you can apply fertilizer every half a month or a month, using dilute liquid fertilizer. Be careful not to get the fertilizer on the leaves, otherwise it will cause rot.

6. Humidity: Maintaining a high air humidity around the plant can be conducive to vigorous growth. You can spray water on the leaves and surrounding areas to increase the air humidity.
