White palm, also known as white crane taro, not only can appreciate flowers and leaves, but also has the unique advantages of simple maintenance, elegant style and so on. So what's a good way to raise white palms in daily maintenance? What should be paid attention to in the cultivation of white palm? Please read down with me with these questions!
Indoor potted cultivation method (basic knowledge): the best breeding time: from March to may in spring, combined with basin change or after autumn.
The best growing soil: the potted plant of Anthurium palmatum requires loose soil, good drainage and aeration, and it can not be used to stick heavy soil. Generally, it can be made up of rotten leaf soil and peat soil mixed with a small amount of perlite. Add a small amount of organic fertilizer as base fertilizer when planting.
Requirements for growth humidity: the pot soil should be kept moist during the growth period, but it should not be watered too much, too much water will be wet for a long time, which is easy to cause rotten roots and withered plants.
The best growth temperature: white palm is a kind of high temperature species, it should be cultivated in high temperature greenhouse. In winter, the minimum temperature at night should be 14-16 ℃, and in the daytime it should be about 25 ℃.
The best growth light: the white palm light is very important for plant growth. It needs better light in winter and early spring, but it needs to gradually shade when the light is getting stronger. If you appreciate it in the shade, you can't directly expose it in the sun, which is not good for the growth of white palm.
Points for attention of cultivating white palm in courtyard: apply fertilizer: do not apply concentrated fertilizer or raw fertilizer when applying fertilizer, and water once after applying solid fertilizer. It is better to use thin fertilizer water instead of water for irrigation, so it will not produce fertilizer damage in general, and white palm will grow luxuriantly.
Watering points: white palms like humid environment. The substrate should always be kept wet. Do not wait until the substrate is completely dry before watering. "See dry see wet" water management is not suitable for white palm, but also increases the chance of root infection, which is not conducive to growth. The best way of watering is top spray, but the drainage of seedbed is better. The maximum EC Value of spray water should not exceed 0.8ms/cm, otherwise it is harmful to crop growth.
Key points of propagation: in propagation, it is necessary to select two-year-old plants with strong growth to propagate separately, lift the whole plant out of the basin, cut the rhizome from the base of the plant cluster, with at least 3-4 leaves in each cluster.
Pot soil replacement: after the plants are separated, the plants are re inserted into the pot, and after planting, the plants are put in the shade to recover. When it takes root, we need to pay attention to the stem when cutting, and then apply charcoal ash to the wound to prevent rot. After the root system returns to normal, it can enter the normal management.
Flowerpot replacement: the white palm needs to be replaced every 1-2 years. In combination with the basin replacement, the root system should be pruned, some old roots and overlong roots should be removed, the old soil should be removed, and the new culture soil should be replaced to facilitate the flowering of the white palm.
Pest control: white palm is the most popular pest during its growth period. It should be regularly sprayed with mite specific insecticides, such as dicofol, nisolone, pyridaben, etc.
The experience of cultivating white palms symbolizes smooth sailing: 1. Due to the fast growth speed and large amount of fertilizer, liquid fertilizer should be applied every 1-2 weeks in the growing season.
2. The basin soil should be kept moist frequently, and water should be sprayed on the leaves and the ground during the high temperature period to improve the air humidity. If the surrounding environment is too dry, the new leaves become small and yellow, and wither and fall off in serious cases. At the end of autumn and winter, the amount of water should be reduced to keep the basin soil slightly wet.
3. White palm needs half shade or scattered light. It must be shaded 60% - 70% in the growing season. For example, if the light is too strong, the leaves are easy to burn and scorch, and the color of the leaves is dim and tarnished; if the light is too dark for a long time, the plants are not robust and easy to blossom.
4. White palm is a kind of high temperature loving species. Long term low temperature and humidity are easy to cause root rot and part of the ground is yellow. Therefore, in winter, we should pay attention to cold prevention and heat preservation, and keep the basin soil moist.
