Areca Palm Struggling Indoors


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I have this Areca palm that was kept outdoors last summer in Illinois, USA. It did well and was repotted in August 2022 into a very large pot, maybe 18” diameter and 20” tall. Once the temperature started dropping in October 2022, it was brought indoors for the winter. It has been watered every 10-14 days, and given Palm Tone fertilizer twice since then, once in winter and once recently

The leaves have some discoloration, which I think is just old leaves that need to be trimmed. The color looks alright, not great. But I am concerned because it shot out a new leaf a few weeks ago, but it hasn’t opened up yet. 
 

Any help would be appreciated! I think the weather should be ok to move it back outdoors soon, where hopefully it will go back to being very happy. Thanks!!

Thank you! Yeah, I think it looks good, except the new growth not opening. I have been trying to find info on why, going to try spraying it with a mister daily to increase humidity, as I found that could be a reason.
