What is happening to my Areca Palm? Here are two pictures. The right one is of my Areca Palm before I bought it from the shop and the left image is how it looks now.

After I brought it to my home it started to wither and the leaves turned brown and then black. Then I removed the dead leaves

Did I overwater it? Does it want more light? Can I save it?

maybe the poor light in my room

The usual problems are too much water, not enough light and possibly spider mites.

  • move the plant closer to direct light
  • let the top inch of soil dry out before watering thoroughly. Do not let the plant sit in water
  • check the underside of the leaves for what looks like grains of salt. If any are seen these are spider mites. Details on treatment can be found here
