Do you know the culture method of white palm? What are the matters needing attention in the breeding of white palm? Next, let's learn about it together.

Culture method of White Palm

❉ 1, soil: White palm pot requires loose soil, good drainage and ventilation, can not use heavy soil, generally can be made of rotten leaf soil, peat soil mixed with a small amount of perlite as substrate; add a small amount of organic fertilizer as base fertilizer when planting.

❉ 2. Time: during the change of basin from March to May in spring or after autumn.

❉ 3, ramet: select the two-year-old plant for ramet propagation, lift the whole plant out of the basin, and cut the rhizome from the base of the plant cluster, with at least 3-4 leaves in each clump.

❉ 4. Pot: put the plants with good ramets back into the pot and restore them in half shade after planting. When it takes root, it should be noted here that it should be cut with a stem, and then apply charcoal ash to the wound to prevent decay. When the root system returns to normal, it can enter the normal management.

❉ 5, Illumination: light is very important for plant growth. White palm needs better light in winter and early spring, but gradually shade when the light is getting stronger. If you enjoy it in the shade, you can't directly expose it to the sun, which is very bad for the growth of white palm.

❉ 6. Temperature: White palm is a kind that likes high temperature and should be cultivated in high temperature greenhouse. The lowest temperature in winter should be 14-16 ℃ at night and about 25 ℃ in daytime.

❉ 7, watering: White palm during the growth period should often keep the basin soil moist, but not too much watering, watering too much basin soil will be long-term moisture, easy to cause rotten roots and plants withered and yellow.

❉ 8, fertilization: do not apply thick fertilizer or raw fertilizer, and after the application of solid fertilizer water, it is best to use thin fertilizer instead of clear water irrigation, so that generally will not produce fertilizer damage, and white palm will grow very luxuriantly.

❉ 9, pests: plants are the most popular pests during the growth period, so special mites should be sprayed regularly to control them, such as dicofol, Nisolan, pyridaben and so on.

❉ 10. Change the basin: change the basin every 1-2 years, trim the root system, remove part of the old root and overgrown root system, remove the old soil and replace it with new culture soil, so as to facilitate the flowering of white palm.

Matters needing attention in the culture of white palm

❉ 1. Because the white palm grows fast and needs a large amount of fertilizer, liquid fertilizer must be applied every 1 or 2 weeks in the growing season.

❉ 2, at the same time provide sufficient water, often keep the basin soil moist, high temperature period should also spray water to the leaf surface and the ground, in order to improve air humidity. If the surrounding environment is too dry, the new leaves become small and yellow, and when they are serious, they wither and fall off. The amount of water should be reduced at the end of autumn and winter, and the basin soil should be kept slightly moist.

❉ 3, it requires semi-overcast or scattered light conditions, the growing season should be 60%-70% shade. If the light is too strong, the leaves are easy to burn and scorch, and the leaves are dim and lose luster; if the light is too dark for a long time, the plant growth is not robust and it is not easy to bloom.

❉ 4, for the kind of high temperature, long-term low temperature and humidity are easy to cause root rot, aboveground parts withered and yellow, so we should pay attention to cold protection and heat preservation in winter, while keeping the basin soil moist.

White palm is more shade-resistant, as long as it has about 60% scattered light to meet its growth needs, so it can be cultivated in indoor places with bright scattered light all the year round. Summer can cover 60% to 70% of the sun, avoid bright light, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow, and sunburn will occur in serious cases. Greenhouse cultivation in northern winter can not shade or less shade. So, how much do you know about the information of white palm?
