Long-term watering and fertilization is very easy to cause soil layer hardening and caking, which will be extremely disadvantageous to the growth and development of the rhizome, and it is difficult for water to seep into the root system. When the root system is unable to absorb water, the leaves will gradually turn yellow.

Solution: in order to improve the drainage performance of the substrate, humus soil or peat soil should be used in the cultivation substrate, and some sand should be mixed with it. After taking off the basin, remove part of the old soil from the main stem, then transplant it into the new basin soil, pour water through it, and then put it in a cool place for maintenance.

White palm has a certain resistance to high temperature, but no resistance to low temperature. It is very easy to be frostbitten when the temperature is below 14 degrees in winter. The leaves will turn yellow after frostbite, and if it is less than 10 degrees, it may freeze to death directly.

Solution: in the maintenance of white palm should be placed in a warm zone, the temperature should be controlled at about 22-28 degrees, because it is very afraid of cold, so it should be put into the greenhouse in winter, or the packaging bag to put up the upper end of the main stem to insulate and keep warm, so that it can survive the winter safely.
