Light
Outdoors, Areca palms like bright, filtered sunlight but they also tolerate full sun. Indoors, Areca palms do best with bright light exposure from a south- or west-facing window.
Soil
Outdoor Areca palms do best in rich, slightly acidic soil with very good drainage. For potted indoor plants, choose a well-draining, peat-based potting mix, ideally a potting mix specially formulated for palms.
Water
Areca palms prefer moist but well-draining soil. They don’t like their soil to dry out completely in between waterings. Check weekly with a moisture meter to see if the soil is approaching dry and water as needed.
