Do white palms need pruning

White palms need to be trimmed. There are generally three cases of pruning

Leaf cutting

Sometimes the leaves of white palm need to be trimmed, because with the growth, the leaves of white palm will be very vigorous and need to be trimmed in time. In addition, pruning is needed to inhibit plant growth and reduce nutrient consumption

When pruning, you can use scissors or fingers to erase the growth points on the tender shoots directly. If it is to reduce the consumption of nutrients, the adventitious buds can be cut before they are mature. After short cutting of branches, new buds will not grow for a long time

Pruning

White palm sometimes needs to trim its roots. Mainly when pruning, cut off some old roots and long-growing roots. After cutting the root, replace it with new soil and replant it. Pruning can be carried out in combination with changing pots

Flower cutting

Flower cutting is mainly to trim flower stems. Carry out after the white palm has bloomed. Be careful not to cut off the flower stems directly. Just cut off the flowering part, and the remaining flower stems will turn yellow and fall off naturally. If you accidentally cut off the flower stems together, be careful not to get wet before the wound becomes dry. Basically, there is no major problem
