Soil selection

To grow swallow palms in pots, the best soil is a mixture of leaf mold soil and garden soil, add a small amount of river sand, and add some compound fertilizer or cake fertilizer. Ensure that the soil has a certain degree of water retention and good air permeability.

Temperature requirements

The optimum growth temperature of Swallow Palm is 15℃～32℃. It is afraid of high temperatures and sultry heat, and enters a dormant state when the temperature exceeds 33℃ in summer. Avoid cold frost. The temperature in winter needs to be kept above 10°C. It will also enter a dormant state when the temperature drops below 7°C in winter. If the ambient temperature is close to 4°C, it will die from frostbite.

Light requirements

Watering requirements

Swallow Palm can be watered once every 1 to 2 days from spring to autumn, and avoid accumulation of water in the basin.
