Dypsis lutescens (Areca) P27, in natural basket

Care:

1. Watering:

Water regularly, especially during the growing season (spring and summer), keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Reduce watering frequency in autumn and winter, allowing the topsoil to dry out slightly between waterings.

2. Humidity:

Areca palms appreciate humidity. Mist the leaves regularly, or place the pot on a tray of moist pebbles to increase humidity.

3. Temperature:

Maintain a warm environment with temperatures above 15°C (59°F). Avoid placing the palm near drafts or cold air vents.

4. Light:

Provide bright, indirect light, such as near a window with a sheer curtain or a few feet away from a south-facing window.

5. Fertilizing:

Feed the palm with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer).

6. Grooming:

Remove any yellowing or dead fronds to maintain the plant's health and appearance.

7. Repotting:
