The growth rate of duck palm tree is relatively slow in winter, so it requires very little water, so watering should be reduced. Usually, watering once every half month can meet the needs, and it is best to keep it in a dry state. The light at this time is also very mild. It is best to place it in a bright place and get more sun. It is not cold-tolerant, so you must pay attention to temperature control and move it indoors when it cools down. If there is no heating, it is recommended to put a plastic bag on it to keep it warm. In addition, you must stop fertilizing to avoid obesity.

1. Reduce watering

1. Reduce watering

Although it likes a humid environment, the temperature is low in winter, the plant growth slows down, and it requires less water. Therefore, watering must be reduced. If it is kept in a humid environment for a long time, roots will easily rot, which will affect growth and development. At this time, watering once every half a month can usually meet the needs. It is best to keep the soil in a slightly dry state, which is beneficial to winter.

2. Sufficient light

It likes a semi-shady growth environment. It should be placed in a cool place in summer. In winter, the light is very soft, so it should be placed in a place with bright light. It is best to be indoors on a balcony or windowsill, which can not only ensure the temperature, but also get more sun. This environment can ensure normal growth and prevent frostbite.

3. Suitable temperature

Its origin is in the tropics and is not cold-resistant. The temperature in winter is generally low, so it must be moved indoors after cooling down. If there is no heating in the room and the temperature cannot be controlled well, it is recommended to put a plastic bag on and poke a few holes in it for ventilation to avoid frostbite. If there is heating in the room, stay away from the heating equipment, otherwise you will easily get burned.

4. Fertilizer stop treatment

Its growth rate is very slow in winter. Generally, the nutrients contained in the soil can meet its needs. It is recommended to stop fertilizing. If fertilizer is applied indiscriminately, it will easily lead to soil hardening, which will cause fertilizer damage and affect growth.
