2. Overwatering

The blackening of white palm leaves is mostly due to excessive watering, first aid measures should be taken if it is watered too much, the whole plant can be taken out of the flowerpot, first look at the degree of root decay, dry and then replant, and then pay attention to water control in daily maintenance, watering properly according to the condition of the basin soil, dry and rewatering to avoid stagnant water.

3. The environment is not ventilated.

Unventilated white palm may cause fungal or bacterial diseases, resulting in blackening of its leaves, so be sure to keep it in a ventilated place to avoid strong light.

4. Excessive fertilization

Why don't white palms blossom?

1. Insufficient humidity: White palm requires high humidity, and it is not good to blossom when the air is too dry.

Solution: pay attention to each watering should be fully watered, often keep the basin soil moist.

2. Lack of light: White palm grows in places with insufficient light for a long time, so it is not easy to blossom. But if the sun is too strong and direct, it is also possible to turn the leaves yellow.

Solution: put the white palm in a place of scattered light and pay attention to ventilation.

3, insufficient growth space: White palm grows faster, generally 1-2 years the plant will be full of pots, leaves crowded, difficult to blossom.

Solution: need to change the basin in time, after changing the basin should be placed in the semi-shade to pass through the slow root period.

4. Long-term lack of fertilizer: White palm does not apply fertilizer for a long time, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of the plant and affects the flowering.

Solution: apply some granular compound fertilizer every month during the May-September growth period, which will grow leaves and blossom.

5. Soil problems: the sandy loam which is loose, well drained and rich in humus is required in the growth of white palm.

6. inducing and promoting flowering: the first flowering of white palm needs artificial induction, and gibberellic acid can be sprayed to induce flowering, and the flowering time varies with different varieties.
