Swallow's paw, also known as Yushu, is native to southern Africa. I like a warm, dry and sunny environment. Not cold-resistant, afraid of strong light, slightly resistant to shade. The soil is fertile sandy loam with good drainage. The temperature is not lower than 7℃ in winter.

Change pots and add rich soil every spring. Swallow's paw grows fast. In order to keep the plant plump, it is not advisable to have too much fertilizer and water. Water 2-3 times a week during the growing period, and strictly control watering in hot and humid July-August. Poor ventilation or excessive water shortage in midsummer can also cause leaves to turn yellow and fall off, so they should be maintained in a semi-shady place. After autumn, watering gradually decreases. When cultivating outdoors, avoid heavy rain, or there will be too much water in the roots, which will easily lead to the death of rotten roots. When changing pots every year or putting houses in autumn, attention should be paid to shaping and pruning to make the plant shape more elegant. In order for Papilio to blossom, it is necessary to have a certain growth age and provide certain growth conditions. The cultivation and management of Swallow's Palm is simple and extensive, but there is indeed some work to be done to make the plants plump and strong and the flowers like mature trees. First of all, the swallows' claws grow very fast. Change pots every spring, add rich soil and keep them in sunny places for maintenance. Apply thin fat water every 10 day and a half, and water every 2 to 3 days, so that dry and wet will alternate. When the summer is hot, the swallows' palms are in a semi-dormant state, for fear that strong light will burn the leaves. At this time, it is necessary to do a good job of shading maintenance. Stop fertilizing in summer and pay attention to ventilation to prevent the leaves from turning yellow and falling off. If it rains heavily, avoid heavy rain and showers to avoid root death. From August to June, 5438+00, the autumn turned cold, and the phoenix tail palm began to grow again. It is necessary to strengthen the lighting again and remove the shading equipment. Fertilization and watering at this time are the same as in spring. Before the first frost enters the greenhouse, put it in a sunny place indoors and stop fertilizing and watering. Basically, water is poured once every half month, and the amount of water is half that of summer. Swallow palm is not cold-resistant in winter, and the temperature should be kept above 7℃. Prune once a year, change pots in spring or enter the greenhouse in late autumn to keep the plant shape elegant all year round.

I hope my answer can help you!
