My Areca Palm (the tall variety) is dying one branch at a time. Any suggestions to save it?

Where are you located? What's the weather been like lately? What type of soil is it living in? What do you feed it? Is it getting enough/too much water? How old is it? What type of sun exposure does it have? Is it indoors or outdoors? Are there any bugs on the underside of the leaves? Have you called your county extension for help?

Too little information from your description to be of help.

I had a similar problem.

Give it a shower. Really.

Put it in the shower under lukewarm water and let it run for a few minutes. This should saturate the soil and then let the runoff drain out.

Worked like a charm for me.
