The phoenix flower usually blooms from June to July, reaching its peak in August. After August, it begins to wither and start bearing fruit. The phoenix flower is generally red, with large blossoms that look beautiful from a distance.

1. Temperature

The phoenix tree prefers a hot and humid growing environment, with a suitable growth temperature between 20-30 degrees Celsius. It has poor cold resistance and can tolerate a minimum low temperature no lower than 10 degrees Celsius, otherwise, it will affect the plant's development.

2. Sunlight

The phoenix tree is a tropical species, so it enjoys plenty of sunlight. When cultivating, it can adapt to full sunlight. In winter, with low temperatures and insufficient sunlight, some supplemental lighting measures should be taken for the phoenix tree, otherwise, it will develop poorly due to insufficient light.

3. Soil

When planting the phoenix tree, it is best to choose well-drained and ventilated soil with a deep layer and loose texture. Soil ventilation is conducive to the phoenix tree absorbing water and nutrients, promoting better growth and development. Loose soil conditions can effectively prevent root rot caused by waterlogging.

4. Water

When the phoenix tree grows for 1-2 years, it needs to be transplanted once. Before transplanting, it is necessary to supplement water to make the roots of the phoenix tree stronger, resulting in a higher survival rate after transplanting. The transplanting site should be in a sunny area, so it is necessary to water frequently to avoid drought and promote the growth of the phoenix tree.
