ðą How to Care for Hawaiian Palm to Prevent Grey Mould?
ð§ How to Water
Water thoroughly every 10â14 days in summer; reduce to every 3 weeks in winter. The caudex stores water, so always allow soil to dry out fully before watering again to prevent root rot.
âïļ Lighting
Place in a bright spot with indirect light or gentle morning sun. Avoid intense midday sun, which can scorch the leaves. Bright windowsills facing east or west are ideal.
ðŠī Ideal Soil
Use a free-draining cactus or succulent compost. Avoid moisture-retaining mixes. Add extra perlite or grit to improve drainage, especially in lower-light environments.
