How To Treat Areca Palms Leaves Which Have Turned Yellow ?
Areca palm also has a common name yellow palm because some parts of the plant like petiole are naturally yellow.
But if parts which are green also turn yellow then it is time to treat the problem in the plant.

If new leaves are already yellow then the plant is lacking in nutrients like manganese, iron or zinc.

The above tips will surely make your areca palm fit and healthy all over again.
