Dig a small hole in the soil where you plan to grow, now bury your seeds beneath the surface leaving part of the seed visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Now place your germination tray in partial shade and maintain consistent moisture till seed germination.

People often fail in caring for areca palms. But this guide will help you in giving best care to your growing plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><br><br><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sunlight\"><\/span>\u0938\u0942\u0930\u091c \u0915\u0940 \u0930\u094b\u0936\u0928\u0940<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">These gorgeous plants require a lot of <strong>indirect light<\/strong> to grow, but they do not like direct sunlight. Areca palm response good in partial shade and greenhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The leaves starts turn yellowish-green in direct sunlight. They need bright indirect sunlight from a south or west-facing window. Without enough light, the growth of the plant will slow down considerably.<br><br>You may keep indoors in south-east or east or west direction windows of the living room or hall where at least <strong>3-4 hour indirect sunlight<\/strong> available.&nbsp;<br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watering\"><\/span>\u092a\u093e\u0928\u0940<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Areca palm requires a good amount of water to thrive. Keep the soil moist constantly. In peak summer seasons water the plants twice in a day. You should let the soil dry before the next watering.&nbsp;Keep in mind that water logging in container may infect your roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Watering must be regular but limited in order to not suffocate the plant\u2019s roots. Avoid overwatering or soggy condition of the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fertilizers\"><\/span>\u0916\u093e\u0926<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">To established your young plants use <strong>nitrogen-rich fertilizer.<\/strong>&nbsp;Apply 5gm of any nitrogen reach fertilizer <strong>(NPK 3:2:1ratio)<\/strong>. You can apply once after every 45 to 60 days. You should spread fertilizer on the top of the potting mix. Regular watering slowly leaches down the fertilizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">During spring change <strong>2-3 inches<\/strong> topsoil and fill it with fresh potting mix.
