Plant a hemp palm in the garden
Hemp palms are very robust in contrast to most other palm species. They are hardy and tolerate minus temperatures down to -18 degrees. You can easily plant a hemp palm in the garden. For this you need older plants that you have previously maintained in the tub.
At what age do you plant cannabis palms?
For a hemp palm to survive frosty temperatures, it needs a certain age. Very young hemp palms would freeze outside. Plant only those specimens in the garden that are older than three or four years.
The best time to plant the hemp palm
The best time for planting is at the end of May, when guaranteed no night frosts are to be expected. The floor should have warmed up a bit already.
Choose a good location for planting
The location for the hemp palm should
be located. Not all species of hemp palm tolerate direct midday sun. Inquire in advance if your palm belongs to these species.
Which earth is preferred by the hemp palm?
Basically, normal garden soil is sufficient for a hemp palm in the garden. To get it off to a good start, you should improve the soil with compost.
The substrate must be loose, so that no waterlogging can form. Dense floors refine with some sand or gravel.
Plant cannabis palm properly
The depth of the plant hole depends on the longest root of the hemp palm. It should be three times as deep as the root.
Protect from frost during the first winter
The cold makes the hemp palm less to do than the moisture that often prevails in winter. That's why a porous floor is so important.
In the first year you protect the hemp palm in the field by burlap or garden fleece and a mulch cover from freezing.
Tips
When planting a hemp palm tree you should keep a sufficient distance to the building and the walls. Since hemp palms can grow up to ten meters in the field, you need four to six square meters of space.
