Why does the white palm turn green?

The white calla lily that people often talk about is actually called Baiheyu. It is a perennial herb that can generally grow to thirty or forty centimeters in height. This plant was originally produced in the Americas and is now also found in many places in China. This plant will bloom white flowers, which are very beautiful and have high ornamental value, but sometimes you will find that the white calla lily turns green. Why is this?

Why does the white palm turn green?

This is a normal phenomenon. The white petals of white palm are not flowers, but sepals. The core is the flower. After blooming, the sepals will turn green. This is true for white palm, red palm, and pink palm.

Like anthurium and red anthurium, the petals of white anthurium contain a small amount of chlorophyll. When the flowers are about to wither in the late stage of blooming, the trace elements remain in the plant body, and a large amount of carotene is decomposed. Only the chlorophyll is decomposed last, so the color of the petals will turn green, and the flowers will wither after a few days.

The white anthurium turns green in the early and late stages of flowering. The original pure white color gradually changes to green, and eventually not only the flowers, but also the flower spikes and leaf stems will change. Faced with this situation, we need to consider the living habits and environment of white calla lilies.

White anthuriums contain chlorophyll, which is what makes the flowers green. Chlorophyll comes into play when there is insufficient light, the growing environment is not suitable, and when the flowers enter the late stage. Therefore, when the white calla lilies turn green, we must first determine the situation and then take any action.

If the white calla lily has been blooming for a while and then gradually turns green, that is the law of nature. That is, the white calla lily has reached this stage, its energy has been used up, and then chlorophyll comes into play. If this is the case, you can either leave it alone or remove the flowers with pruning tools.

If this happens to the white calla lily in the early stages of flowering, additional light should be provided in a timely manner. But be careful not to expose it to strong sunlight. For example, at noon, use measures such as screens to provide necessary shielding. Avoid exposure to excessively high temperatures in the sun.

If necessary, you can also repot the white calla lily, replace the soil and improve the environment. At the same time, stop watering and fertilizing to ensure that the ambient temperature is around room temperature. Let the white calla lilies start over.

In short, it is normal for white calla lilies to turn green, so there is no need to worry too much. In fact, appreciating the tender green white calla lilies is also a different kind of enjoyment. As the saying goes, it is not the wine that makes people drunk, but people themselves. When it comes to appreciating flowers, mood is the main thing.
