What's going on with white palms and yellow leaves?

White palm, also known as white taro, is a kind of perennial herb of Araceae, which has a very wide cultivation area in our country. The ornamental value of white palm is very high, and it is pleasing to the eye when it blossoms. When it is not flowering, it is also a kind of foliage plant, which is welcomed by many people. However, there are many people in the cultivation of white palm, often appear yellow leaf phenomenon. So what's the matter with white palms and yellow leaves? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Improper watering

White palm in the growth process, there is a certain demand for water. But when we are watering, we should pay attention to controlling the amount of water. Do not overwater too little. If too much water is watered, stagnant water in the soil will inhibit the respiration of the roots, causing rotten roots to affect nutrient absorption, resulting in malnutrition and yellow leaves. But insufficient watering can also lead to white palms and yellow leaves. Therefore, we should adjust the watering frequency according to the seasonal changes. Water about once every 5 days to keep the soil moist. It should be watered once a day in summer and once a week in winter.

2. Excessive fertilization

The growth of white palm also needs some nutrition, so fertilization is also essential. But like watering, we should also pay attention to controlling the amount of fertilizer applied. If you fertilize too much, then the white palm plant is very easy to produce fertilizer damage, resulting in burning roots and leaves, resulting in yellow leaves. Therefore, we must pay more attention to the fact that if excessive fertilization leads to yellow leaves, then we should water and apply fertilizer and dilute fertilizer in time. Then put in the sun to bask in, white palm fertilization frequency is generally maintained in half a month or so once. Fertilizer to cake fertilizer, compound fertilizer, etc., in winter because white palm into the dormancy period, so there is no need to apply fertilizer.

3. Light discomfort

Although white palm likes to grow in an environment with plenty of light, the light intensity should not be too high. If exposed to the sun, it is easy to cause burns and yellowing of the leaves. However, it should also be noted that white palm can not be in a cool and weak light environment for a long time, otherwise it is also prone to yellow leaf phenomenon. Therefore, we should also control the light according to the season, so that white palm plants can receive sunlight all day in winter and spring. But after the summer, because the sun is strong, it is necessary to do a good job of shading to prevent the leaves from being exposed to strong light.

4. The temperature is too low

White palm has a higher requirement for temperature and likes to grow in a warm environment. Among them, the suitable growth temperature is about 12-28 degrees, the lowest temperature can not be lower than 5 degrees, and the highest temperature should be kept below 35 degrees. If the temperature is too low, then the white palm plant will suffer frostbite, and the leaves will be yellow easily after frostbite. If the temperature is too high, the rate of water evaporation will be accelerated, and the leaves will be short of water, resulting in wilting and yellowing of the leaves. Therefore, we should do a good job of cold prevention and heat preservation in winter, while in summer, we should cool down in time to ensure the normal growth of white palm.

The above is a brief introduction to how the white palm and yellow leaves are going on. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
