White palms are afraid of freezing, so keep the temperature above 10°C in winter. If the temperature is low, water less and wait until the soil is nearly dry before watering. If the indoor heating temperature is high, you can observe the soil surface turning white and water thoroughly. White palm likes semi-shade, but the light intensity in winter is not high, so it can be exposed to the sun all day long, which is helpful for the plant to accumulate nutrients and grow wildly. Be careful not to fertilize in winter, and open windows frequently for ventilation when the temperature is high at noon.

1. Heating and keeping warm

1. Increase the temperature and keep warm

If you want the white palm to survive the winter safely, you must pay attention to increasing the temperature and keeping warm in winter. Ensure that the curing temperature is above 10℃. If it is below 10℃, you must control the water and keep the soil in balance. If it is dry and the temperature is low at night, you can cover the white palm with a plastic bag and open it for ventilation during the day.

2. Spend more time in the sun

White palm likes astigmatism, but the light in winter is soft, so it can be properly exposed to the sun, which can not only increase the local maintenance temperature of white palm, but also make the white palm more beautiful. Palms that get more sunlight accumulate nutrients, which is beneficial to the growth and flowering of plants. White palms that lack light will definitely not bloom.

3. Control watering

< p> White palm likes water and is afraid of waterlogging. However, the temperature is low in winter and the soil water evaporates slowly, so the watering interval should be widened and the soil should be almost dry before watering. If the room is heated, keep the temperature above 18°C, wait until the soil surface turns white and becomes dry, water it thoroughly, and spray water frequently.

4. Do not fertilize

The temperature is low in winter, so do not fertilize. Let the white palm survive the winter safely until the next spring is warmer. If the indoor heating temperature is high, you can apply nutritionally balanced fertilizer and water every other month. If the plants are growing vigorously, you can apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote flowering.
