Cultivation methods and precautions of yellow hair palm

1. Maintenance methods

1. Potting soil: The adaptability of the yellow-haired palm is very strong, so it is better to use sandy loam when planting it. Because sandy loam is relatively breathable and has strong drainage, it is very suitable for the growth of the yellow-haired palm.

2. Water: The yellow-haired palm likes drier soil and is afraid of waterlogging. When caring for it, you can wait until the soil is completely dry before watering. You should go indoors in time on rainy days to avoid rain and water accumulation. Standing water in the soil will cause its roots to rot.

3. Nutrients: Fertilize once every 30 days or so. When applying fertilizer, be careful not to pour the fertilizer onto your palms to avoid fertilizer damage.

4. Sunlight: The yellow-haired palm likes an environment with plenty of sunlight. Long-term sunlight exposure will make its branches and leaves thicker. But in the summer, it cannot be exposed to excessive sunlight to avoid wilting.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Repotting and pruning: The time for repotting the yellow-haired palm is about 2 years. When repotting, you can appropriately prune the messy branches at the roots. This is more conducive to promoting nutrient absorption.

2. Reproduction: The yellow-haired palm is generally propagated by cuttings. Select strong stem nodes, cut them off, and then leave them to dry for three to five days. After the cut surface is dry, insert it into loose and breathable soil, but not too deep, as this will affect its growth.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Pests and diseases: Yellow-haired palm may sometimes be infested with pests, so diligent management is required to avoid such occurrences. When insect infestation occurs, you can get rid of it by using insecticides specifically designed to spray insects.

2. Root rot: When watering, be careful to avoid water accumulation in the pot, as water accumulation will cause the roots of the yellow-haired palm to rot. If root rot has occurred, the plant needs to be removed from the pot and trimmed promptly, and then replanted with new soil.

IV. Other issues

1. How to spend the winter: Move the plants indoors when winter comes and keep the temperature between 5-8℃. Lighting and ventilation must also be ensured.

2. Can it be placed indoors: It can be grown indoors. Its stems and leaves are thick, and can absorb radiation when placed in front of a computer desk.
