If the golden fruit palm or areca palm gets yellow leaves, in most cases an infestation by pests is responsible. This is how you treat the yellow leaves and prevent pest infestation.
Yellow leaves can be an indication of pest infestation
Yellow leaves of golden fruit palm caused by spider mites
If the leaves of the golden fruit palm turn yellow, the palm is almost always infested with spider mites. These pests are very difficult to see with the naked eye. Spray the leaves with water. If small webs appear in the leaf axils, spider mites are at work.
Rinse the areca palm with lukewarm water and use sticks to control spider mites.
Increase the humidity in the room by spraying the fronds with lukewarm water. Too dry air favors the appearance of spider mites.
tips
Cut off the yellow leaves of the golden fruit palm when you are absolutely sure that pest infestation is responsible. Shorten them so that a small stub remains on the trunk.
