Key points of maintenance of White Palm

The selection of white palm matrix requires basin soil with loose, drainage and good air permeability. The culture medium should be prepared before getting high-quality seedlings. The matrix can choose ordinary northeast peat or imported German peat, but both should add 15% muri 20% perlite and stir evenly, choose perlite with large particles, and be careful not to crush perlite as far as possible. The EC value of the prepared matrix is about 0.7mS/cm and the pH value is about 5.5.

White palm under temperature control is a species that likes high temperature and should be cultivated in high temperature greenhouse. The most suitable daytime and night temperature for white palm is 20 ℃-21 ℃, and the highest temperature should not exceed 24 ℃. If the daytime temperature is high, as compensation, the night temperature can be reduced appropriately. For example, if the temperature is 27 ℃ for 6 hours during the day, the temperature should be kept at 9 ℃ for 6 hours at night. Other cases in turn and so on. In particular, it should be noted that if the white palm is in a state of low temperature for a long time, it is easy to cause the leaves to fall off or be scorched yellow.

The water management of "dry and wet" is not suitable for white palm, and it also increases the chance of root infection, which is not conducive to growth. The best way of watering is spraying at the top, but the drainage of the seedbed is better. The maximum EC value of spray water should not exceed 0.8mS/cm, otherwise it is disadvantageous to the growth of crops.
