Is it better to hydroponically cultivate white palms or grow them in soil?
This article brings you the topic of whether white palms are better hydroponically cultivated or grown in soil, as well as the cultivation methods of the flowering plant white palm. Let's take a look together.
Flowers like white palms,富贵竹 (富贵竹), and发财树 are difficult to grow in soil, often facing problems such as yellow leaves, rotting roots, and not flowering. It is better to hydroponically cultivate them; it is not only easier to maintain but also promotes vigorous growth and easier flowering. Let's learn together!
White palms have many problems when grown in soil, but they flower more when hydroponically cultivated!
White palms like moisture, but they have thick, somewhat fleshy roots, so if you water too much, they can easily rot, and if you water too little, they can easily lack water and wither. Therefore, it is better to switch to hydroponic cultivation of white palms; just adding water allows them to grow well.
So, if your white palms always have dry or yellow leaves, or if you're not very good at grasping the watering frequency, it's better to switch to hydroponic cultivation. This not only saves effort but also keeps the flowers healthy. Why not do it?
So, how do you switch white palms to hydroponic cultivation? It's very simple!
1. First, we stop watering the white palms 3-5 days in advance, allowing the potting soil to be slightly dry, then remove the pot, wash the soil off the roots clean.
2. Next, prepare a hydroponic container, which can be a special hydroponic bottle or any unused bottles and cans that fit the size of the white palm.

3. Then, find some ceramic particles or granular materials like鹿沼土 (Tokyo Daisy soil), 赤玉土 (Akadama soil), etc. If you don't have these particles, you can also find some pebbles on the side of the road. The main purpose is to hold the roots in place so they don't fall over.
4. Then we put these stones or particles into the hydroponic bottle, plant the washed white palm into it, and then add clean water. Note that the water level should reach 2/3 of the palm's roots, with the upper 1/3 not immersed in water.
5. Finally, place the hydroponically cultivated white palm in a place with diffused light and ventilation. If the water is low, add water, and if the water is dirty, change it. After new water roots have grown, you can add a little hydroponic nutrient solution to the water, which makes flowering easier.
