Spathiphyllum (Spathiphyllum) is a popular house flower from the Aroid family. This genus includes about fifty different species. In the natural environment, spathiphyllums live in South American countries, but also occur in the Philippines. Plants prefer moist corners along streams and river banks, as well as swampy forests. The name of the genus in translation from Greek means "sheet-cover".
Another name for the plant spathiphyllum is "female happiness", although the signs associated with the flower are quite contradictory. According to one version, it helps to establish the personal life of its owner, and according to the other, on the contrary, it interferes with this. One way or another, but the flower still brings undoubted benefits to the house - it perfectly cleans the air in the room.
Spathiphyllum is a big favorite among florists and florists. This is an indoor flower that is not picky about lighting. Spathiphyllum can be a wonderful decoration for office spaces or other areas that do not have good lighting.
Description of spathiphyllum
Spathiphyllum is a stemless perennial plant. The leaf blades of such plants grow directly from the root. Their shape can be lanceolate or oval, and sometimes their color is variegated. Even without flowers, the foliage of such a plant looks quite decorative. In spring, an inflorescence is formed on the spathiphyllum in the form of an elegant cob of cream shades, wrapped in a light blanket. As the flower develops, the veil begins to turn green. After the plant fades, the peduncle is cut off at the very base.
Spathiphyllum after purchase
If the spathiphyllum is in a technical pot after purchase, then after two to three weeks it should be transplanted into a pot that will be slightly larger in size. The root system of the plant is quite miniature, but excessive tightness (as well as excessive volume) can adversely affect the appearance of the bush and the process of its flowering. This flower differs from the vast majority of indoor plants in its moisture-loving nature, so after purchasing, check that the ground is sufficiently moist. Otherwise, water the plant immediately.
It would be best to put the flower closer to the window, which is located on the north side of the house. This location will ensure optimal sunlight delivery, while at the same time eliminating the possibility of overheating. It should be remembered that spathiphyllum is categorically contraindicated in rooms with dry air. In winter, you can spray this plant a little less than in summer, but you still need to do this.
Brief rules for growing spathiphyllum
The table shows brief rules for caring for spathiphyllum at home.
| Lighting level | Plentiful, bright lighting is required. |
| Content temperature | The optimum temperature in spring and summer is about 22-23 degrees, but not lower than 18 degrees, in winter - 16-18 degrees, but not lower than 10 degrees. |
| Watering mode | In summer, the soil should have time to dry out by about 1.5 cm, in winter the soil is moistened much less often, but they try not to overdry the substrate. |
| Air humidity | The humidity level needs to be high. The container with spathiphyllum is placed on wet pebbles or expanded clay, and the foliage of the plant is moistened with a spray bottle. After the formation of the buds, the bush should be sprayed more carefully so as not to wet the future flowers. |
| The soil | The optimal soil is a mixture of peat, humus, sand, turf and leafy soil. |
| Top dressing | Weekly during the growth period, use half the dose of mineral formulations. You can also fertilize the plants with mullein solution. In winter, top dressing is applied only once a month. |
| Transfer | In the spring, if the root system has outgrown the old pot. |
| Bloom | Flowering most often occurs in mid-spring and lasts until July. |
| Dormant period | The dormant period usually lasts from October to the end of January. |
| Reproduction | Cutting or dividing the bush. |
| Pests | Aphids, mealybugs, mites. |
| Diseases | The foliage becomes mottled due to stagnant water in the ground or turns brown from dry air. Lack or excess of fertilizer can also be a problem. |
Spathiphyllum care at home
The popularity of spathiphyllum in floriculture is due to the unpretentiousness of the plant. This flower does not require complex care, although it needs high humidity and good watering.
Lighting
Home spathiphyllum is recommended to grow on the east and west windows. If the plant will be on the south side, it is important to shade it from direct sunlight. Diffused light has a better effect on the development of the bush: flowering in this case will last longer, and the foliage will be larger. Shading, on the other hand, will force the leaf blades to stretch out and take on a darker green tint. In addition, in such conditions, spathiphyllum may not bloom.
Temperature
In spring and summer, spathiphyllum needs a temperature in the range of 22-23 degrees, but not lower than 18 degrees; the flower will not appreciate too much heat. In winter, the optimal growing conditions are considered to be 16-18 degrees. Lower temperatures significantly slow down the growth of the plant, but if the room is less than 10 degrees Celsius, most likely, the plant will die due to the development of putrefactive processes.
Cold drafts are also considered dangerous for the bush - hypothermia can also lead to diseases. If blowing from the window, keep the pot on a foam support.
Watering
Water for irrigation of spathiphyllum must be settled for at least a day. When the bush is actively growing, it is watered abundantly, trying to do this a couple of days after the topsoil begins to dry out. A sufficient amount of moisture is necessary for the spathiphyllum for full growth and flowering. In winter, the plant is watered less often, trying not to allow the soil to completely dry out.
Stagnant water is very dangerous for the plant, although spathiphyllum is considered a moisture-loving flower. Without enough liquid, it starts to fade. Excessive moisture can be recognized by the appearance of dark specks on its foliage. Excess water from the sump must be drained.
Air humidity
If you look at all aspects of caring for spathiphyllum, then the most important thing is, perhaps, maintaining a certain humidity in the room. The home plant requires constant spraying. In addition, you can put a container with a flower in a pallet filled with wet pebbles or expanded clay. In the summer you can “bathe” the bush under the tap. Although sometimes, even in such conditions, the tips of the foliage of the spathiphyllum can begin to dry out.
During the budding period, humidifying the air near the plant is required especially carefully: drops should not fall on the flowers. Subject to all conditions, spathiphyllum will be able to bloom even during wintering.
Constantly rubbing the foliage keeps it clean. This not only cleans the plates from dust and gives them a more elegant look, but also protects the bush from harmful insects.
The soil
The soil for growing spathiphyllum can include turf, peat, humus, leafy soil, as well as river sand, taken in equal parts. You can also use a mixture of humus with fine brick debris and charcoal. There are many options for the composition of the soil for spathiphyllum, but the main requirements are lightness and good drainage. Sometimes sphagnum is added to the soil, which helps to protect the earth from drying out.
Top dressing
The entire period of active growing season spathiphyllum must be fed with a weak solution of minerals. For 1 liter there should be no more than 1.5 g of the complex composition. You can alternate such feeding with the introduction of organic elements, for example, a solution of mullein or bird droppings. Before and after feeding, the bush needs to be watered properly. Without enough nutrients, the plant will bloom much worse.
In winter, only those spathiphyllums that continue to bloom continue to be fed. In this case, the frequency of application is reduced. If you can fertilize the plant 2-4 times a month in the summer, once in the winter will be enough. It is permissible to use an even lower dosage. Excess fertilization can lead to the appearance of small brown spots on the leaves of the flower.
Transfer
Spathiphyllum transplant is carried out in the spring. They are needed only by those plants that have begun to outgrow their pot. You need to carefully transfer the bush to a new place: the roots of the spathiphyllum are fragile enough. Before the procedure, it is watered abundantly. During transplantation, all lateral offspring can be separated from the mother plant, which takes a lot of effort to maintain.
Low and not too deep containers are suitable for spathiphyllum, the plant must have time to master the entire soil before the soil in it begins to acidify. When transplanting, the new pot should be slightly larger than the previous one. A drainage layer is laid on its bottom. For better adaptation after transplanting, it is recommended to spray the plant more often and keep it warm. You can cover the bush with a jar or film to provide it with greenhouse conditions. But twice a day, such a shelter must be removed for ventilation. You can also treat the foliage of the plant with epin. They begin to water the transplanted bushes only after 3-4 days, and feed them only after a month, when the plants will absorb all the trace elements from the fresh soil.
After the volume of the pot reaches 20 cm, low spathiphyllums can be stopped transplanting. For such plants, you should only periodically replace the topsoil.
Pruning
Spathiphyllum does not need pruning, but it is important to remove faded ears in time to stimulate re-flowering. It is also necessary to regularly cut off the dried leaves at the very base.
Bloom
With proper care, spathiphyllum blooms for 1.5-2.5 months, from mid-spring to July. Small flowers are collected in an inflorescence-cob, with male and female together. The size of the flower depends on the type of spathiphyllum. The color is always white, occasionally light green.
Reproduction methods of spathiphyllum
Cuttings
Spathiphyllum cuttings root well in wet sand. They try to keep them in a warm place where the temperature is kept at least 22 degrees. After rooting, the seedlings are moved into separate pots with soil consisting of leafy soil and peat with half pieces of turf and sand. You can pre-soak the cuttings in water until the roots appear.
Dividing the bush
By transplanting a large bush of spathiphyllum, you can not only separate the lateral processes from it, but divide it itself. The rhizome peeled from the ground can be cut into several divisions, each of which should have 2-3 leaves and one growth point.The division procedure must be carried out in a warm room. Delenki are planted in pots with a diameter of up to 15 cm, using soil from peat, humus and leafy soil with the addition of sand. For better aeration, brick chips, bark and charcoal are added there. In the first days after transplanting, the cuttings are not watered, but only sprayed. With proper care, such plants begin to bloom after 8 months.
Growing from seeds
There is another method of reproduction of spathiphyllum - seed, but it is considered too unreliable. The germination of its seeds is very quickly lost, they should be sown immediately after collection, having equipped a mini-greenhouse for them. The soil in it must constantly remain moist, but not soggy. In addition to laboriousness, the method does not guarantee the appearance of new plants of the desired variety: with such reproduction, the varietal characteristics of the bush may not be preserved.
Difficulties in growing spathiphyllum
Spathiphyllum does not bloom
The most common reason for the lack of buds is the too low temperature in the room, combined with dry air. Another reason is too rare feeding, in this case the plant has nowhere to take nutrients for flowering. An excessively large capacity can also lead to the absence of peduncles: the plant blooms only after it has completely covered the soil ball with its roots. To speed up the process, you can move such an instance to a smaller container. Too old specimens of the plant also cease to bloom.
Leaves turn black
Black leaves are a sign of problems with the root system of the spathiphyllum. Usually, excessively frequent or, on the contrary, rare watering becomes the cause of such a disease. Spraying in a room that is too cold is also considered dangerous. The affected plant is pulled out of the ground and its roots are examined. The affected areas are cut and processed, after which the bush is moved to fresh soil.
Also, foliage may darken due to a lack of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers.
Leaves turn yellow
Leaves that are yellow and dry at the edges are a sign of underwatering. Regular washing of the bush will help restore health to the plant. A shower will not only restore the necessary moisture, but also protect the flower from the appearance of harmful insects. Drying foliage can also be related to indoor cold conditions.
If the spathiphyllum has stood for a very long time without water, and the soil in the pot is dry, you should not immediately fill the plant. Water is introduced into such a substrate in parts, gradually increasing the volume of irrigation to normal. Low air humidity can also cause the plant to wilt. Such a bush must be sprayed more often. Wiping the leaves and the presence of a pallet with wet pebbles will also help.
Pests
Sometimes pests can become the cause of yellowness on the foliage of the spathiphyllum. The main insects found on this plant are aphids and spider mites. Aphids most often attack bushes during their exposure to air. Mites appear due to too low humidity levels. Treatment with a solution of soap with the addition of nicotine sulfate will help to remove them. The soil in the pot must first be covered with a waterproof film so that the mixture does not get into the ground.
The best preventive measure against the appearance of pests is considered to be regular washing of plant foliage with a damp cloth or sponge.

Good day!
please tell me, and if the plant is really old ..
How can you bring him back to life? to the "flower period" so to speak ...
otherwise I picked up a plant on the street, I have been taking care of it for a year now, but it does not spoil me with flowers ..
can anyone know ..
Thank you so much!
My opinion is not to transplant it into a pot that is too spacious, otherwise it starts to be lazy, why bloom, when it’s so good. Blooms faster in a cramped pot
And my flower bloomed after I forgot to water it for a couple of days, he dropped the leaves so wilted completely and I watered it and it bloomed immediately !! This has been done several times already last year !!
You can and even need to update a flower!
Remove the flower from the pot, it is important that the earthen ball is moist. Find young shoots among the old leaves, try not to damage the roots, separate them from the old ones (you can not stand on ceremony with the old ones). Transfer the young shoots to a new pot with soil, water and observe the engraftment for a couple of weeks.
And the old one .. if it’s a pity to throw it away, drip it back and put it on the landing .. don’t forget to water. He will still serve for the joy of others.
Spathiphyllum was given to my mother-in-law a few years ago. It was overgrown with children and did not bloom. She gave it to me. I acted cruelly .... I cut off the children and the central trunk from each other. I gave the children to a neighbor, and cleaned the central trunk like a pencil and put it in water. And threw it on the refrigerator. Without any fertilizers. Periodically checked that the water did not evaporate. About a month later I noticed the roots They grew up a little in the water and I transplanted them into the ground. The pot is small at all. When the roots climbed out of the pot, I again transplanted it into a good large pot. Now it makes me happy with flowering 2 times. I didn't have a special desire for it to live, because there were a lot of my own flowers and there was no place to put it. And now such a beauty !!!!!! I had to move the hippeastrum. They are now together on the north window.
Hello, tell me, my leaves have dropped down on both plants. They obviously don't like something. I bought a plant a few days ago, and today the leaves are looking down and one of them has 2 yellow leaves ((((What is? How to save? They are so beautiful !!!
When my leaves are looking down, I urgently water it and arrange a bath, bathe it. A couple of hours and he wakes up.
I also urgently water and spray the leaves rise after a while.
How should you bathe them?
Hello, thank you very much for the post, very informative!
I recently purchased spathiphyllum. I rent a room in a hostel, that is, we have a common kitchen, but the bedroom and bathroom are separate. The bedroom is pretty small, there is a table by the window, on which I put the spathiphyllum. At night, I open the window, and decided to transfer the spathiphyllum to the bathroom, so that it would not freeze at night. My question is - is it possible to carry a flower from place to place every night? Leaving it on the table will freeze at night .. Thanks a lot in advance!
It is undesirable, of course, to transfer a flower from one place to another, especially every day. But the open window and the cold. Here, of two evils, choose the lesser - carry constantly to the bathroom 🙂
Hello. please tell me, a couple of weeks ago, a spathiphyllum was purchased, I began to notice that the leaves and flowers from him every day fall lower and lower 🙁 they will soon completely fall. it costs about 1.5 meters from the window, I water it 2-3 times a week, if possible, I still spray it. what's the trouble tell me?
Hello! Can you please tell me, I have a very vigorous flower, but for some reason the leaves are sooo light, I water, spray, change the window, but ... And it does not bloom, it has stood for the winter, it’s already spring, but even the color is not gaining (((
Hello. Tell me my tsyetka also has pale leaves, I don’t understand why it’s not trickling, but it thickens with larvae. What to do ?????
Good day! I was going to transplant spathiphyllum, but it bloomed. Is it possible to transplant it in the summer when the flower has faded?
Good day. Please help. I bought a flower and immediately transplanted it into a new, larger pot. The ground was wet, how often should I water it so that everything is fine?
And my spathiphyllum has been blooming without ceasing for the third year already. But! Only gives one flower. As soon as one begins to fade, another appears immediately. Why alone?!
Lack of food. An exhausted clod of earth. I feed with complex inorganic. Blooms constantly 4-6 flowers.
I don't know what happened, but my flower suddenly hung leaves and the flower bud froze in one size. I transplanted him, but he also dropped the leaves. Tell me what to do?
Urgent watering and sprinkling with water ... will recover quickly .... I also had it.
Hello! I have a spathiphilium flower and in one pot there are 3 flowers of it, one of them bloomed 2 times. is it possible for 3 spathiphyllium flowers to grow in one pot ????
I was presented with this plant, I take care of it, now it has blossomed! and now, as a month, development has stopped, the leaves have brightened, dry at the edges, what to do, how to save it !!! ???
the orchid does not bloom - why?
There may be a feeding problem here. If you do not feed it, it may not bloom.
The orchid should stand in a very bright place, but not in open rays. The temperature in the room is -20-22 ° С. Water the orchid once a week. And then in 3-4 weeks it can give flowers.
Hello, the apartment is very stuffy, even with the airing, not the slightest hint of a draft. How to save spatiffillum, yucca and banana ralma? Is it necessary or possible to spray them abundantly every day? Thank you in advance.
Spatiffilum just does not tolerate a draft, I think a palm tree, too, given that their homeland is hot countries. you only need to take care of the humidity. the most ideal option is to buy an air humidifier, they are for the whole room and are only for flowerpots.
Sorry, I have one more question: Spathiphyllum was bought two weeks ago, the leaves were up, now the flower somehow strangely began to tilt to one side, i.e. the leaves droop a little and do not stand "lines". I'm afraid to do something wrong. How strange it turns him to the left o.O
after the first flowering, they cut off the flowering stem of the flower - the orchid stopped blooming, what to do?
I bought a small spathiphyllum bush all in flowers, but they were green and white-green.
They irritated me and I cut them off and transplanted them. It grows beautifully, the leaves are getting higher, but the whole summer has not bloomed already. What can you tell me, advise?
for me this is a miracle flower, before I generally did not like indoor plants, and when they gave me this "miracle", I casually sent it to a corner and watered it from time to time. but I have it wonderfully taken root, it grows like a madman, it blooms all year round, although I didn’t even water it with fertilizers. I literally fell in love with him, and even when I read that he perfectly cleans the air in the apartment from harmful substances, now I look after him like a child. he already occupies half of the room for me and constantly blooms.
Lena. I am very happy for you, but it did not help me in any way and the spathiphyllum did not bloom.
Good day! spathiphyllum has released 2 flowers, but they do not open in any way (probably already 2-3 months). the flower itself is cheerful. I don’t know what to do. could it be because I transplanted it into a large pot ???
Good day! Such a question, what to do if you accidentally slightly damaged the root of the mk dry, everything will be all right with the flower? And how should the roots be deep?
Good day. please tell me spathiphyllum has dry leaf tips what could be the problem?
What to do if, after transplanting spathiphyllum, flowers begin to turn black? I watered everything once, right after transplanting and sprinkling.
After transplanting, the earth fell from the tree hole, did not tamp well ((it turns out the roots are bared at the bottom (
And is it necessary to transplant it again in this case in order to correct the mistakes? Or is it fraught with a flower? ((Thank you in advance
From the drain hole in the pot, sorry. )
When it blooms, do not transplant. Or do it without affecting the roots.
Can you please tell me why my flower does not bloom with white flowers, with green ones? We have changed its location at home more than once, but nothing has changed. Maybe this is not spattifillum, we were deceived. Are there any similar flowers?
They must be still young. Another year old and will be white.
I bought a flower in the spring for the whole summer, not a single new leaf and the old leaves wilted and turn black, what should I do? All summer I sprayed it twice a day and watering was normal. How to save - help.
Valentine, after all, they got waterlogged.Perhaps you, like me, once, when spraying, pour it inside where young leaves are tied and they rot inside and do not grow. Spray lightly like morning dew.
Valentina, if everything rots so badly, you should examine its roots, if you cut off the black ones with a styrene knife, and cover the cut-off places with brilliant green. Change land and start over. With a new transplant, do not water much, now there is little sun, the earth will bloom. Wait until the top layer of the earth is completely dry.
Hello, please help me, I really need advice ...
1) Spathiphyllum was growing - everything was fine, it is already about 5 years old, quite recently (about a month already) the leaves have fallen and do not rise, while they do not turn yellow as green as they were - What to do ?? There is enough space, I water it as usual (the top layer of the earth begins to crack) and the temperature is normal. Help, I really love this flower ..
2) I look at the pictures of the spathiphyllum growing like a bush and questions about planting do not arise, but my flower grows as a tree - I examined the roots how to divide them, I don’t understand, maybe someone knows how to plant it ....
Tatyana, your spathiphyllum may have aged. If it doesn't work, then you need to cut off the most central and largest, old bush, then it will grow young around.
The leaves of your spathiphyllum are drooping from lack of moisture, you can't wait for the earth to crack. I watered my flower every day when it stood on the windowsill (though I have a big one). Now, having moved it to the floor, I water it every two to three days, depending on the room temperature. It is worth blinking the moisture of the soil, the leaves immediately droop. On the second question: do you definitely have spathiphyllum, maybe anthurium ??
Hello. My spathiphyllum drops the leaves and then they completely die off. Already 5 or 6 leaves are gone, what could be the reason?
Have you read the article itself? The penultimate paragraph describes your problem.
Well, yes, a formidable teacher's tone of reprimand to the naughty student.
In my opinion, it is easier to copy the part of the text that the person needs and paste it into the comment.
You need to be kinder to people, and they will be drawn to you.
You can't wait for an answer!
There is a forum for similar problems and questions. If you want to get a guaranteed answer, create a topic there.
Good afternoon. I bought this beautiful flower. Over time, I began to notice that the buds turn black: ((I did not transplant, today I looked under the pot and saw a bare sprouted root. The problem is that on the very spatkfillum there are small cobs of flowering and at this time transplant it it is impossible how to be?
Obviously, there is not enough space for him. I would do a transplant, well, or at least transload into a larger pot. I somehow like the transplant more, after all, the soil will be fresh, and the spatik will not be offended.
Hello, my spathiphyllum leaves are starting to dry. I water the flower twice a week. Please tell me what to do so that the flower does not dry completely.
It is written to spray every day and fertilize once every 2 weeks or a month
I do not have much experience, but as soon as I notice that the plant is not right, I immediately change the whole process of courtship, if it dries even a little, it means that something is wrong, from and to I rummage in the internet, experiment, observe if there is a result, then I continue to do so, more than once I pulled out dried plants from friends
Hello!
Can you please tell if the leaves of Spattifillum can turn yellow from direct sunlight?
Hello! Can a flower be fertilized with black soil? Thank you in advance!
good afternoon, everyone. I read an article on the internet on how to fertilize spathiphyllum (1st water + 1 egg white. insist a week, add up to 2 liters of water, water) mine was no longer alive, I almost did not like the neighborhood, maybe there was not enough light, seedlings on the windows. I became afraid it will stink into the house you will not enter. Well, if it dies, know that and be-watered ... in a week it bloomed. try
I also noticed that you need to pay attention to the neighborhood with other plants.
More: Once I planted a spatik, shook out all the ground, gently washed the roots in a bucket of water from the old soil, planted it in a new fresh soil, and was stunned by how the transplanted spatika jerked to growth.
I do not grow at all, he sits small ...
good day! I am completely inexperienced, just a beginner gardener. But I really liked this flower and I want to buy it. The article is very useful, thanks! but I still have one question on care: what does it mean to "bathe" the plant? water it out of the shower? put the pot in a tub of water? or how is it done correctly? thank!
Hello.
Tell me, please, if 90% of the root system has died due to soil acidification, can spathiphyllum be reanimated?
And if so, how?
I personally think that you can try to transplant the remaining 10% of the roots into a new good soil in a small pot (I regularly use a coconut briquette for transplanting (it is inexpensive, available in all flower shops, neutral, very convenient to use, cut off or broke off as needed , and forward according to the instructions) with the addition of sand and ready-made soil. In any case, you do not lose anything. There is a chance. Well, but it will not work, to plant another flower, taking into account the previous mistakes. Sooner or later you will come up with the correct option.
Good afternoon! I bought myself a flower and want to plant it in a porcelain statue, will it be okay for him there? Spastbo!
Good day! Please tell me: very small leaves and flowers began to grow in my spathiphyllum, flowers of an unconventional shape, oblong and twisted, but a lot, the leaves and flowers begin to dry out still small, so they do not grow, you have to cut them. What is he missing and how to help him?
In this article it is written: “As mentioned above, this flower is not at all picky about lighting. Although if you keep it in a poorly lit room, its leaves will become smaller, so do not overdo it with no light. "
Someone please tell me why my spathiphyllum blooms green and not white.
perhaps there is not enough light, although he does not like direct light, but still, in the shade the flowers turn green, mine did that too
Good day!
I have a whole problem with this flower .... a young man took care of it before, but after transplanting it became liquid, the leaves are all the time lowered and twisted into a tube. So he lived for 1.5 years
Then I took him and my hands. Transplanted, began to fertilize. Visually, he became better, got stronger, grew and became thicker
Only here is the problem, the leaves turn black, even very young shoots….
How to be? (
This flower should have one owner and this is a woman.
Oh-oh-oh, only a woman! I can argue. I take care of flowers at home and they grow with me.As someone outsider decides to get in (even a wife), problems immediately begin. I am trying to prove to her that the flowers are also alive, so I do not believe.
Tell me, if the use of automatic irrigation began to turn yellow, the moisture content of the soil became higher, everything turns black and grows angry, may this be a problem?
This is a bay, the soil needs to be changed, they don't like flowers when they are often watered, watering should be with the drying out of the earth in a pot, and not when you want it, you will have to turn off automatic watering or you will ruin all the flowers
Flowering double, is this normal?
I was presented with spathiphyllum, transplanted into another pot, the leaves dropped. I understand that the transplant is stressful. Tell me how you can support the flower so that it comes to its senses faster ?!
Water the flower and then the leaves will rise
He will step away on his own. Do not worry. Need time
Poor growth. Slow growth of spathiphyllum can be associated with excessive moisture and light. The choice of a more suitable place for the flower can solve the problem.
Drying of leaf tips, staining. If the tips of the leaves of spathiphyllum are overgrown with dry spots of a brownish-yellow hue, resembling burns, this indicates an overflow.
Lack of flowering. If spathiphyllum does not bloom, top dressing should be applied. It is also worth making sure that there is no need for a transplant, increasing the humidity. If the plant is too large, splitting it up can help.
The flowers turn black. Spathiphyllum is a plant that reacts sharply to waterlogging of the soil, the result of which can be blackening of the core or sidewall of the leaves. Another likely cause is over-fertilization of the flower. Treatment consists in treating the soil with a foundationol solution (2 grams per liter of water).
Yellowing of the leaves. The main reasons: direct sunlight, insufficient or excessive watering. The yellowing of plant leaves after flowering is a normal biological process that does not require intervention.
Deformation of the leaves. If the leaves of the flower become elongated, narrow, the problem may be a lack of light. Complete darkening is contraindicated for the plant, diffused light is most preferable.

Please tell me what to do if white bloom appears on the soil surface. I think it's mold
watering with hard tap water - the water contains salts ... so they remain on the surface of the soil in the form of a white bloom ..
I revive all flowers with succinic acid. One tablet per liter of water, and I water it once every two weeks. You can also spray it. And everything blooms.
Another option is to cut off the old leaves, leaving only small, young ones. This is during the transplant. In my opinion, a transplant is needed anyway.
Hello, would you advise using a phytolamp for spathiphyllum in winter?
