Areca Palm Advice from The Plant Mother
Share
The Areca Palm is a striking houseplant with narrow, arching leaves that fan out gracefully. It not only offers an aesthetically pleasing appearance, but also improves the air quality in your home. Ideal for a trendy living room or a sleek office, its lush greenery makes a subtle yet powerful statement. The Areca Palm brings life and harmony to any interior, without requiring much maintenance.
To keep a close eye on them I recommend the following rhythm :
- Monday : Check if the potting soil is still moist. If dry, give a little water.
- Wednesday : Move the plant slightly so that all sides receive even light.
- Friday : Remove dust from the leaves with a soft, damp cloth.
Seasonal tips :
- Spring : Start with a little plant food in the water to stimulate growth.
- Summer : Provide sufficient humidity by spraying the plant occasionally.
- Fall : Gradually reduce watering as temperatures drop.
- Winter : Keep the plant away from cold drafts and reduce watering significantly.
Styling advice : The Areca Palm looks great in a bright living room, especially next to a large sofa or in an empty corner to fill up the space. Combine with light, natural colours for a fresh and relaxing look.
