What should I do if the Areca palm grows too big? Trim both the roots and the leaves!

1. Pruning method

For Areca palms that grow too large, the overly long branches and leaves need to be pruned back in time. If the plants grow too densely, they should be thinned out to avoid the situation where the plants are too crowded and airtight. Note that the pruning should be smaller. This plant is not very tolerant to pruning. If it is pruned too severely, it may not be able to grow leaves again.

2. Daily pruning

It is easy for the plant to have diseased branches, dry branches and yellow branches during its growth period. They should be cut off as soon as they are discovered. When the top of the leaves turn yellow due to lack of water, you can cut off half of the leaves instead of cutting them off all at once. If you fertilize it with high concentrations or water it too much, its roots will rot and you will need to trim the roots immediately. After cleaning the soil, cut off the rotten roots and repot it.

3. Notes

Generally speaking, it should be pruned once after two years of cultivation to prevent it from growing too tall. The main thing is to prune off the taller trunks, which can also reduce unnecessary nutrient loss.
