secret of Areca plant: 

Don’t over the water we should make sure that the pot has a hole so that water does not get clogged. let the soil dry before watering again.
Don’t keep them underwater:

if the roots are submerged under water or if you keep them under water means if Its roots are always wet then the roots will start to rote Wate them properly 1/2 weekly if needed.

Re potting:

It is a monocotyledonous plant so it has no main root which would be hard and long-rooted. That is why its delicate roots grow fast and fill up the pot as a result the soil is starting to weaken. the amount of soil starts to get small. the leaves of the areca get yellow and the tip of the leaves dies. in this situation, the plants need to re-pot.

select Tob:
when it needs to re-pot at first we have to select a pot depending on Areca’s height and amount. If it is long 1 fit or half then we can use a six or seven-inch pot or if it is long 2 fit or high then we should use a 14-inch pot.

Be aware of re-potting

It would be good if we could re-pot once yearly. the plant would be greener lovely and fresh. while re-potting some roots have to be trimmed, and some ready-soil needs to be added. while we start to pot ready draining system should be confirmed that’s why pot making is very important for a plant. the top should have a hole or some hole.at first, we keep inside some large stones then we keep some white sand after that we will keep mix-soil which was ready with sand, soil, and vermicompost. It will be just Wet sandy soil so that the draining system will be well. and the Water does not accumulate inside the tob.

for a better look:

For greenery and a fresh look on my plant, I wipe with a cloth weekly a day and spray water on the leaves that’s why it makes better photosynthesis. after all, they are the most beautiful member of my house.
