1. Protect indoor areca palms from cold drafts. Areca palms are sensitive to extreme changes in temperature and drops in humidity. If kept near a drafty window or door, they will develop brown tips. Dry air can also lead to brown spots, so it might be worth placing a humidifier nearby if you live in a dry climate. You can prune off the brown leaf tips without harming the plant, but for the best results, take care to prevent the leaves from becoming brown first.
2. Fertilize areca palms during the growing season. Areca palms are heavy feeders and can benefit from an application of time-release liquid fertilizer beginning in spring and occasionally throughout the growing season. This applies to both outdoor and indoor plants.
3. Keep an eye on pest infestations. Like most palm plants, areca palms are susceptible to infestations of mealybugs and spider mites. If you see pests, treat your areca palm with insecticidal soap, neem oil, or a combination of both.
4. Water your palm more if the leaves turn yellow. Yellowing leaves are a sign that your areca palm plant is not receiving enough water. Increase your watering frequency if you notice that your plant is turning yellow.
5. Repot your areca palm infrequently. Areca palms are better off in pots that are too small than too large. Wait at least a year between repottings and choose a new pot that is only one size larger than the previous one.
