Areca Palm brown tips

A crowded areca can dry at the center while a quick watering runs around the outside. Brown tips after repeated wilting deserve a deeper moisture check, not just a look at the surface.

Correct drying and deposits

Water slowly and evenly when the upper mix dries, then drain. If roots fill nearly all the pot and watering becomes difficult, repot modestly larger. Reduce heavy fertilizer use; crusty deposits can be flushed from a healthy-rooted pot at a normal watering.

Move fronds away from hot airflow. Dusty stippling or fine webbing needs a mite inspection. Trim brown ends with a narrow dead margin left, and keep green fronds intact.
