Care Guide

Place in bright indirect light to maintain a lush green appearance and healthy growth rate.
Trim away older, browning lower fronds to direct the plant's energy toward new top growth.
Common Problems & Solutions
Why are the leaves on my Areca Palm speckled with yellow?
Yellow speckles followed by drying leaves are a hallmark sign of a spider mite infestation. Wipe down the fronds.
Why is the base of the palm feeling loose in the soil?
A loose base is often due to shallow root rot from overwatering. Hold back on watering until the soil dries.
