I bought three 1 gallon size Areca Palms from my local Walmart, mainly because they looked so healthy! I have had them on each side of my Balcony Door for several weeks now, I live right on the Beach so the sun in the Morning is Blinding! but they are on the sides of the door! I have watered them twice! I read about not over watering, and I even drained the saucer under the pot as It said I should! The water runs through that dry soil and out the bottom holes, like it was not even in there! and the soil always seems very Dry! I don't know if that is normal? and also I left them in the plastic containers they came in. Mainly it's just they are starting to look a little droopy! they don't seem to be holding that stiff vertical position! One of them even dropped over an entire branch recently! so I finally cut it off! ...Maybe their not getting enough direct sun? ...I Would appreciate some opinions! Thank You
