ARECA PLANT plam [ pack of 3, with pot]

Light

Outdoors, these plants like bright, but they also tolerate full sun. Indoors, areca palms do best with bright light exposure from a south- or west-facing window.

Soil

Outdoor specimens do best in rich, slightly acidic soil with a pH of around 6.0 and very good drainage. Amending the soil with sand and peat moss might be necessary to improve porousness and lower soil pH. For potted indoor plants, choose a well-draining, peat-based potting mix, ideally a potting mix specially formulated for palms.

Water

Areca palms tolerate low soil moisture but prosper in moist soil, however, they are sensitive to overwatering and do not tolerate being waterlogged or sitting in a water-saturated potting mix. Let the soil or potting mix dry out slightly between waterings.1

Temperature and Humidity

Indoors or outdoors, this plant does best in average temperatures of 70 to 80 degrees F. It will survive if the temperature briefly drops to 32 degrees F but for best growth, it should only be planted in regions where outdoor temperatures don't dip below 50 degrees F.
