Kirin palm originated from the dry, hot, sunny place, obviously, it is full of love for light. Spring and autumn growth period to ensure adequate sunshine, it is best not to long-term indoor viewing. Although I like light, I'm afraid of strong sunlight. In summer, I need proper shade, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow, which is not beautiful. Although winter enters dormancy period, but still need sunshine, after all, basic life activity cannot leave photosynthesis.
The most suitable temperature for growth is 22 ℃ - 28 ℃, when the temperature reaches 35 ℃ in summer, it will enter into dormancy. The unicorn palm is not cold resistant. It is usually moved indoors before the first cold current comes. In winter, the room temperature should be kept above 15 ℃, so as to ensure that the leaves will not fall. As long as the temperature is above 7 ℃, you can have a safe winter.
There is no strict requirement for this. The sandy soil with good drainage can be used, for example, it can be mixed with 1 /3 of rotten leaf soil, coal cinder and garden soil. Basin water or a long period of humidity may lead to rotten roots, so that the soil would rather dry than wet.
The kylin palm is still drought resistant. It should be watered less rather than more at ordinary times. When the basin soil is completely dry and then watered, that is what we usually call "if it is not dried and watered, it will be watered through". In winter, we need to control the watering, try to keep the basin soil dry, after spring, the temperature gradually rises, then we can slowly water
Kylin palm doesn't like fertilizer very much. It follows the principle that less is better than more, and less is better than more. When applying fertilizer, avoid raw and concentrated fertilizer, otherwise it will lead to rotten roots and fallen leaves. Growth season can be applied once a month about 15% of the full maturity of the alum fertilizer, stop fertilization in winter.
When the temperature rises in spring every year, it is a good time to change the basin. When changing the basin, remember to remove the old soil and remove the rotten roots. After changing the basin, first place it indoors for about 10 days, and then move it out of the room slowly. During the cultivation, pay attention to keep the soil moist.
Although there are fewer diseases and insect pests on the kylin palm, it doesn't mean that it won't get sick. If it's not ventilated for a long time, it's easy to suffer from scale insects. So prevention and control work can not be less, breeding period to be placed in the air circulation place, away from the kitchen and gas
Kylin palm doesn't need pruning.
It is easy to see such a phenomenon, that is, the crow like stems of plants degenerate into columnar stems. If this happens, you should cut off the stem in time, and then move the unicorn palm to a place with enough light to get more sunlight.
Generally, Cuttage Propagation is adopted, the time is from April to June, and it is better to have a sunny morning. Use a sharp knife to cut down the healthy abnormal stem and dry it for three or four days. After the wound is dry, insert it into the clean sand. The depth is 3-4cm. Compact it and do not water it. Spray water in two days. The soil is slightly wet. You can take root in a month or so.
Kirin palm is indeed a very unique plant. To sum up, it is not difficult to breed it. I hope all flower friends can raise a beautiful Kirin palm
