The needle palm has strong adaptability and relatively simple cultivation and maintenance. It is a very unique indoor ornamental leaf plant with a good air purification effect. If the plant grows healthier, the air purification effect will be better. It is often used as a绿化 plant.
Cultivation methods of needle palm
1. Potting soil conditions
When cultivating needle palm, a mixture of decomposed leaf soil and perlite can be used to create a cultivation substrate. After the soil is mixed, an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer should be added to enhance the fertility of the soil. A陶盆 or瓷盆 with loose and porous texture and good drainage and ventilation can be selected as the cultivation container to allow the needle palm to grow healthily.
2. Water and fertilizer management
The needle palm consumes a lot of water and fertilizer during its growth period. It needs to be watered 1-2 times a week in spring and autumn. In summer, when the needle palm is in its vigorous growth period, it needs to be watered twice a day, early morning and evening, and fertilized with decomposed organic fertilizer every 10 days to supplement nutrition. In autumn and winter, when the temperature drops, watering should be controlled and fertilization stopped.
3. Suitable environment
The needle palm has a certain shade tolerance but requires a lot of light. In spring, autumn, and winter, the needle palm can be placed in a bright and well-lit area for maintenance, providing all-day lighting. When the sunlight is too strong in summer, it needs to be moved to a well-ventilated and shady area with scattered light. The daily maintenance temperature should be controlled between 25-35℃, and moved indoors as soon as possible in winter.
Precautions for needle palm maintenance
The needle palm is suitable for growing in an environment with strong ventilation and breathability. If the ventilation of the growing environment is poor, the needle palm is easily attacked by pests and diseases such as whitefly, resulting in yellow leaves and black spots. In this case, a diluted solution of dichlorvos should be sprayed on the leaves for treatment, and the needle palm should be moved to a well-ventilated environment for maintenance.
