White palm is an indoor potted flower variety which has become more and more popular in recent years. Because of its powerful function, it integrates flower appreciation, leaf viewing and air purification, which meets the needs of most people for plant culture. But many people's white palms only grow leaves but do not blossom, so what is the reason why they do not blossom? How to make white palm blossom?

When does the white palm blossom?

The normal flowering time of white palm is from May to August, and it lasts for 4-5 weeks from blooming to falling. Flower friends first make sure that their white palm is not blooming during the flowering period.

Why don't white palms blossom?

1. The growth years are not enough.

White palm flowering takes a certain period of time to cultivate, generally we buy in the market white palm usually has been cultivated for more than three years, has met the conditions of flowering. It takes 4-6 years for a normally growing white palm to blossom normally; if it is sown, it takes another year; and for ramet seedlings, it takes a little less time, but it takes 2-3 years before it can blossom. Therefore, if the white palm is in infancy, not blooming is a normal phenomenon, we still need to wait slowly!

two。 Insufficient growth space

White palm grows faster, generally 1-2 years of plants will be full of pots, leaves crowded, improper ventilation, inside the leaves are difficult to accept the sun, difficult to blossom.

3. Maintenance of environmental discomfort

Although white palm is called "lazy flower", it also needs some energy to take care of it if it wants to blossom. If white palm grows in places with insufficient light or too strong sun for a long time, it will cause its poor growth and difficult to blossom, especially in the period before flowering from April to May, when the light is insufficient, the air is dry, and white palm will not blossom in time.

4. 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 flowering. During the growth period from May to September, some granular compound fertilizer is applied every month, which will not only grow leaves but also bloom.

Third, how to make the white palm blossom?

1. Induce and promote flower

If it has reached the appropriate flowering age, then we can artificially induce flowering by spraying gibberellic acid, and the inducer needs to be sprayed one month before flowering.

two。 Strengthen daily maintenance

Put the plant in a bright place to maintain, pay attention to timely watering, to ensure air humidity. From April to May, water is often sprinkled around the plant to increase the relative humidity and fertilize once a month, which can appropriately increase the amount of fertilizer before flowering to ensure sufficient nutrients to blossom.

3. Change the basin in time

Due to the rapid growth of white palm leaves, if you do not change the basin in time, it will lead to poor ventilation. We can change the white palm into a large basin and loose soil in early spring every year. After changing the pot, put the plant in a cool place for 1 week, and then maintain it normally. Due to the rapid growth of some white palms, it may be necessary to change the basin twice a year, so in addition to spring, the basin can also be changed once in autumn.

Fourth, how often is the white palm watered?

1. Normal watering time

The so-called normal environment is suitable for the growth of this plant, first of all, to maintain the temperature between 18 degrees and 28 degrees, and there is no strong sunlight, but the air fluidity is better, in this environment can be watered once every 3 to 5 days, that is, when there is a slight dryness in the upper layer of the basin soil, watering should be carried out in a timely manner.

2. Watering time is different.

If the temperature rises above 28 degrees, it is necessary to keep the soil moist all the time, and the watering time will be shortened, about 2 days for watering; if the temperature falls below 15 degrees, the upper layer of the basin soil should be watered only when it is drier, and it can be watered once in about 6 to 8 days, and the lower the temperature is, the longer the watering interval is.

3. Points for attention

Although this plant likes water, it should not be watered too much, otherwise there will be yellow leaves. In serious cases, it will also be invaded by other diseases and insect pests.

When the temperature drops to 10 degrees, if there is too much watering at this time, it is easy to freeze damage. At this time, in addition to environmental maintenance, but also reduce watering.

Because everyone's culture environment is different, so watering should also be flexible, and it is best to observe the state of the basin soil before watering. Watering according to the actual situation of the basin soil is the most correct way.
