Palma alba is a common indoor foliage plant with bright green leaves and different shapes. However, the growth of white palm requires the right soil for it to thrive.
One: Understand the growth environment of white palm
Anthurium is native to South and Central America, so it prefers warm, humid environments and prefers to grow in shade, semi-shade.
Two: Choose the right soil for the white palm
Palms prefer soft, well-drained soil and not be overly nutrient-rich. Therefore, we can choose some peat soil and perlite with good air permeability and good water holding capacity to mix into white palm cultivation soil.
Third: the use of peat soil
Peat soil is a good soil material, it can be used to improve soil quality, increase soil aeration, keep soil moisture, etc. Moreover, the peat soil itself is an acidic soil that can meet the growth needs of white palm.
Four: the use of perlite
Perlite is a lightweight, porous material that increases the aeration and drainage of the soil. When cultivating white palm, perlite can be broken into small pieces and mixed into peat soil for use.
Five: Don't use soil rich in nutrients
Palmus does not like soil that is too rich in nutrients, because excessive nutrients can cause problems such as yellowing of its leaves and poor leaf growth. Therefore, when cultivating white palms, do not use soil rich in organic matter.
Six: Pay attention to the pH value of the soil
The suitable pH value for the growth of white palm is 5.5-6.5, so when preparing cultivation soil, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the pH value of the soil. If you need to reduce the pH value, you can add some acidic substances such as iron sulfate and aluminum sulfate.
Seven: Commonly used white palm cultivation soil formula
The commonly used white palm cultivation soil formula is: peat soil and perlite 50% each. If you want to improve aeration, you can also add some vermiculite, coral sand and other materials.
Eight: How to mix white palm cultivation soil
Mix peat soil and perlite in a ratio of 1:1, add an appropriate amount of vermiculite, coral sand and other materials, and then add some appropriate amount of iron sulfate, aluminum sulfate and other acidic substances to obtain cultivation soil suitable for the growth of white palm.
Nine: Pay attention to the soil selection when changing pots
When white palms need to be potted, fresh, soft, well-drained soil needs to be chosen. This allows its root system to grow better and maintain good health.
One 0: How to water
White palms need to be moderately moist, but not overwatered. Usually, watering is done every week or so, and after watering, wait until the soil surface is slightly dry before the next watering.
One 1: Pay attention to avoid standing water
Stagnant water can cause the root system to rot, so care needs to be taken to avoid stagnant water when watering. If water is found, it needs to be drained in time to ensure the growth of white palm.
One 2: How to apply fertilizer
Whitepalm does not need to be fertilized frequently, and fertilization can be done every 1-2 months. Some fertilizers containing nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be used.
One 3: Pay attention to the light
White palms prefer a cool, semi-cool environment, so you need to take care to avoid direct sunlight. If the white palm is exposed to the sun for a long time, it can cause problems such as leaf burns and poor growth.
One 4: Pay attention to ventilation
White palms need to be moderately ventilated to avoid humid, stuffy environments. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to avoid cold wind blowing directly to avoid causing poor growth of plants.
A 5: Summary
Choosing the right soil is very important for the growth of Palmus alboris, and the mixture of peat soil and perlite can meet the growth needs of Palmard. In addition to this, it is also necessary to pay attention to moderate watering, fertilization, and maintaining moderate light and ventilation. Only in this way can we let the white palm thrive and bring us more appreciation and harvest. #Whitepalm##Plants##Headlines##我要上头条#
