Temperature: Palmetto can withstand low temperatures, and can still survive the winter when the temperature is below one degree; Watering: In addition to watering the roots, you also need to water the leaves in summer. It is best to water the roots once every other day, and water the leaves. Water it every day; Fertilize: During the growth period, you need to fertilize it once a month, and the fertilizer should be mainly nitrogen fertilizer; Light: It likes the sun, but it is not tolerant to strong light. You can usually let it receive more sunlight, but when the light is strong Shade is required.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It likes to grow in a warmer place, and the most suitable maintenance temperature is 20 degrees. The overwintering temperature is below zero degrees. Many places in the south can overwinter outdoors, but not in the north. The winter temperature in the north is too low, so it is best to spend the winter indoors.

2. Watering: Watering is an essential part of its growth. It likes to grow in an environment with relatively high humidity, so it needs more watering during cultivation. Especially in summer, the temperature is relatively high, so you need to water it every day. In addition to watering the roots, you also need to water its branches and leaves.

3. Fertilization: Nitrogen fertilizer is an important nutrient in its growth, and it accounts for a large proportion. Therefore, N fertilizer should be used as the main fertilizer, and the frequency of fertilization is once a month. It needs to be watered after each application of fertilizer, firstly to allow the fertilizer to blend with the soil for easy absorption by the plants; secondly, to avoid fertilizer damage.

4. Light: It needs sunlight to grow, but it cannot accept strong light. In spring and autumn, the light is not very strong, so the plant can be grown outdoors to allow it to receive sunlight throughout the day. After summer, you need to shade it or move it to a semi-shady place for maintenance to avoid strong light burning the plant.

2. Breeding skills

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by sowing seeds. When sowing seeds, they should be shallower. The depth of each hole should be controlled at less than three centimeters. The distance between holes should be kept at 20 centimeters. Put four seeds in each hole. Water enough once and cover with soil.

2. Peeling and picking leaves from palm trees: Peeling and picking leaves from palm trees is generally done during the planting months, because the vitality is strongest at this time and the success rate of peeling palm trees is the highest. Every time you peel off the brown leaves, leave the third-year leaves. If you leave too many leaves, it will damage the heart of the plant and the plant will die easily.

3. Problem diagnosis

1. Insect damage: When the plant is unearthed, it is necessary to prevent core borers. The core borers will harm the leaf center of the plant. In severe cases, the plant will die. You can use omethoate to get rid of insects. Just pour the pesticide on the roots of the plants according to the method of fertilizing.

2. Yellowing of leaf needles: Yellowing of palmetto leaf needles is mostly caused by insufficient watering, and it is necessary to increase the frequency of watering.

IV. Other issues

1. Edible: not edible, but can be used as medicine.

2. Fertilization is suitable for indoor breeding: its plants are large and not suitable for indoor maintenance.
