PLANT CARE
-
Light: They do best in bright, indirect light but tolerates some direct sunlight as well.
Water: The amount of water the Areca Palm needs will depend on how much light it receives. Brighter light means more water, while lower lighting means less water. On small palms, the surface of the soil should be dry before giving it more water. On larger palms, the soil should be dry at least one inch down in the soil before adding water.
