In the high temperature season in summer, the evaporation amount is large, and the number of watering needs to be increased; in the low temperature season in winter, the evaporation amount is small, so reduce watering.

3. Observe the changes in the leaves: After watering, observe the changes in the leaves of the palm bamboo. If the leaves are found to be yellow or drooping, it may be due to improper watering and the watering method needs to be adjusted in time.
