What if the white palm only grows leaves but does not blossom?

White palm is also known as "plain sailing", because its meaning is more auspicious and beautiful, and the plant is also easier to take care of, coupled with high ornamental value, so it is deeply loved by the public. However, if we do not maintain it properly, it may cause the plant to grow leaves but not blossom.

Although white palm is more suitable for leaf viewing, it is usually cultivated at home as a leaf pot, but if it can blossom, it can often play the role of icing on the cake. So, white palm appears only leaves do not blossom how to do? Today, the editor will share with you how to deal with this situation.

White palm only grows leaves but does not blossom, there are usually five factors, let's take a look at these reasons and disposal methods!

1. lack of light to increase light

Although white palm is more shade-tolerant, if we keep it in an indoor environment with insufficient light for a long time, the plant will grow stems and leaves because it can not carry out normal photosynthesis. Therefore, we only need to put it in a ventilated, sunny position so that it can fully receive scattered light.

II. Controlled fertilization of excess nutrition

White palm likes fertilizer, after all, its leaves are huge, can also blossom, will consume a lot of nutrients. So many friends in the growing period of a large number of fertilizer, in fact, this is not only easy to cause fertilizer damage, but also may cause excess nutrition and waste. On the contrary, the plants grow only branches and leaves but do not blossom because of excessive nutrients.

Therefore, we must replenish nutrients for white palm in accordance with scientific fertilization methods. If there is too much nutrition, it should be watered thoroughly to dilute or discharge it out of the basin, and the basin can be changed if necessary. However, if the lack of nutrition caused by long-term non-fertilization, it is also easy to cause the plant not to blossom, we only need proper topdressing.

If topdressing is applied, it is suggested that the purpose of topdressing nutrients can be achieved by applying granular compound fertilizer or organic liquid fertilizer once a month in the growing season from May to September every year. In this way, the plant can not only grow leaves, but also blossom smoothly.

Third, it is too luxuriant to change pots and cut leaves

White palm is a kind of warm and wet plant, which tends to grow rapidly in the growing season, especially in summer. Generally, after 1-2 years, the plant is easy to burst, and the leaves are very luxuriant and even crowded. This will inevitably consume a lot of nutrients, resulting in nutritional competition, in the case of lack of nutrients, there is often only the phenomenon of long leaves without flowering.

Therefore, in this case, we can take the disposal method of changing the basin and soil to solve the problem. But if we do not want to change pots, then we need to cut off some old, weak, sick and disabled stems and leaves in time to reduce the consumption of nutrients and accumulate enough energy and nutrients for flowering.

Fourth, the humidity is too low, spray moisturizing

White palm requires high humidity in the growing environment, especially in the growing season. If the humidity is too low and the environment is too dry, it is not only easy to cause the withered and yellow stems and leaves, but also inhibit the flowering of the plant.

Therefore, in addition to timely watering to maintain the humidity of the basin soil, it is also necessary to spray more foliar water and spray around the plant when the air is dry, so as to improve the air humidity and make the environment more suitable for the growth of the plant. only in this way can it bloom smoothly.

Fifth, the basin soil is not suitable to improve the soil quality.

Finally, we would like to talk about the pot soil problem, if the pot soil is uncomfortable, it will not only affect the normal growth of the plant, but also will not let the plant blossom smoothly. If the basin soil is too sticky and the permeability is too poor, then when watering too much, it will inhibit root respiration and growth, but also easily lead to rotten roots, thus unable to grow and blossom normally.

For this situation, according to the growth habits of white palm, we must prepare a loose and permeable acid basin soil. At the same time, usually watering and fertilization must be appropriate, not excessive, let alone excessive, otherwise it is easy to damage the root system of the plant.
