Cultivation methods and precautions of ice velvet palm

1. Watering

Ice velvet palm is also a kind of lazy plant. It is quite drought-resistant. If you want to achieve higher ornamental value, you need to create a slightly drier environment. Frequent watering can cause the plant to die easily, so there should be no accumulation of water in the soil.

2. Lighting

The warm spring and autumn seasons are its favorites. It can be said that except for the high temperature of over 30 degrees in summer, it needs sufficient light in other seasons. If it adapts to the open-air environment, the ice velvet palm grown outdoors will be stronger.

3. Potting soil

The potting soil should be loose, breathable and water-permeable soil specially made for succulents. Beginners don't need to prepare it themselves. If you want to mix the soil, peat soil + perlite + vermiculite are generally used in a ratio of 5:2:3. You can also use coconut coir instead of peat soil.

4. Temperature

Ice velvet palm prefers warm, dry and sunny environment. It is drought-resistant and can withstand temperatures as low as minus 3 degrees Celsius as long as the soil in the pot is kept dry. At minus 3 degrees, the leaves will droop slightly, but they will stand upright again after the temperature rises.
