"Smooth Sailing" is also known as white palm, but its real name is Spathiphyllum, belonging to the Araceae family, a perennial herbaceous plant. Its leaves are green and its flowers are white, resembling white sails, symbolizing good fortune. Some flower friends say that their white palm has been raised for more than a year, with very few new leaves growing and some leaves starting to dry from the tip. At first, it was exposed to direct sunlight, and then it was placed in a place with scattered light. What exactly is the reason for this growth condition, and how to make the white palm grow better, with more leaves and frequent blooming, and more flowers?
What to do if the leaves of the white palm are drying and not growing well? Pay attention to these "two points," and the leaves will be green and the flowers will bloom abundantly.
To improve the growth condition of the white palm and make it grow better, pay attention to the following points
1. White palm prefers shade and does not tolerate direct sunlight
The white palm, also known as "Smooth Sailing," is a very shade-tolerant and shade-loving potted plant. Therefore, remember not to expose it to direct sunlight in summer, early autumn, or when the temperature and sunlight are strong, as this will sunburn the leaves, causing them to dry and turn yellow. We should place it in a bright and well-ventilated indoor area. About 60% sunlight is enough, and it should not be completely without sunlight, as this makes it difficult for the plant to bloom and its growth will not be good. It should be placed near a window or balcony with good ventilation. If it is always kept in a room with the windows rarely opened, it will not be ventilated, and the leaves will look lifeless and easily dry and wilt.
2. White palm prefers a warm and humid growing environment and does not tolerate cold
Therefore, in winter, it should be kept indoors or in a greenhouse, with a temperature of at least 10 degrees to prevent the leaves from freezing. It prefers a high-temperature environment, so the usual growing temperature is around 20 degrees, which is perfect for rapid growth. During dry weather with high temperatures and drought, in addition to watering on time, you can also use a spray bottle to spray water on the leaves to maintain air humidity. This will make the leaves green and eye-catching. When watering, start from the top of the plant.

In addition, the potting soil for raising white palms is very important. Since easily compacted soil or soil that is too sticky is not suitable for raising white palms, it is best to use loose and breathable sandy soil, such as using decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, river sand, or pearl rock in a ratio of 2:2:1.
This kind of soil mixture will make the white palm grow better and more conducive to the growth of its roots and leaves. The pot should not be too small or too large, with a diameter of 20 to 30 centimeters being sufficient. How to care for "Smooth Sailing"?
