Substrate selection: Palm can grow in acidic or slightly alkaline soil. The soil must be well-drained, moist and fertile. Temperature management: The breeding temperature can be around 22-30°C, not lower than 15°C, nor higher than 35°C. Water management: It likes moisture very much. You can water it once a week. In winter, you can water it once every 10 days. Light management: Give it plenty of light but don’t be exposed to the sun. It can also be raised in semi-shade.

1. Maintenance method

1. Substrate selection: Palm’s soil requirements are good drainage, moist and fertile. It can tolerate alkali, drought and water. It can survive in acidic or slightly alkaline soil. Will grow very well.

2. Temperature management: Palm prefers a warm and humid climate, and the normal breeding temperature can be 22-30°C. If it is lower than 15°C, it will enter a dormant state, and if it is higher than 35°C, it will not be conducive to growth.

3. Moisture management: I like a humid environment, but cannot Water too much and avoid water accumulation, otherwise roots will rot. Generally, watering is done once a week. In summer, when the temperature is high, the frequency of watering can be increased. In winter, the growth is slow, so watering is done every 10 days or so.

4. Light management: It likes sunlight very much, but it also needs to avoid the scorching sun. It can also be raised in a semi-shady place.

2. Breeding skills

1 , Pruning: In order to reduce transpiration and improve survival rate when transplanting, the leaves should be cut off, leaving 3-5 leaves and 1-2 heart leaves. However, it takes a long time to restore it to a full canopy, 2-3 years.

2. Repotting: Repotting should be done every 2-3 years, which can be done in spring. When changing pots, add some organic fertilizer to the soil as a base fertilizer, and compact the newly filled soil. And water it once, put the pot in a cool place, and move it to a sunny place for maintenance after a week.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1 . Root rot: After discovering that its root system is rotten, you should pay attention to water control and perform careful root pruning. The root system must also be properly disinfected, and it is best to replace the soil, so that replanting will avoid root rot again.

2. Palm leaf beetle: For palm plants that are seriously infested with insects, the method of pulling out the plants should be used for treatment, and chemical control methods such as the bagging method of coconut heart beetle powder should be used for treatment.

IV. Other issues

1 2. Whether it can be grown at home: It can be grown at home, but it must meet a series of adaptability conditions such as temperature, soil, moisture, and light that are suitable for palm needs.

2. Can it be planted on the ground: Because it is native to tropical rainforest areas, it can be grown in indoor greenhouses. Various outdoor conditions do not meet the needs of palms and are not easy to survive.
