With the increasing pursuit of life quality, the maintenance of indoor green plants has become an important activity for more and more families. The large leaf white palm, with its unique leaf shape and fresh flower fragrance, has become the first choice for many families. How to make the large leaf white palm thrive in your home? This article will introduce the maintenance methods of large leaf white palm in detail.
LightingThe large leaf white palm is not strict in its lighting requirements, but it should not be placed in a dark place for a long time. Placing it in a bright indoor area, such as near a window, can meet its lighting needs. It is important to note that direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent leaf sunburn.

WateringThe large leaf white palm prefers a humid environment but does not like waterlogging. When watering, the soil should be kept slightly moist, avoiding over-wet or too dry. Under normal circumstances, watering once or twice a week is sufficient. In winter, due to the lower temperature and slower evaporation of water, the watering frequency can be reduced appropriately.

TemperatureThe suitable temperature range for the growth of large leaf white palm is between 18-28°C. In winter, when the indoor temperature is low, attention should be paid to keeping warm to avoid leaf yellowing and falling off due to low temperature. In summer, when it is hot, proper shading should be provided to reduce the indoor temperature.
