• Abundantly flowering with buds the color of baked milk.
• Cannolistny with large flowers similar to cannes.
• Charming. It is distinguished by rather large leaves, flowers are located on long peduncles.
• Spoon-shaped with snow-white buds.
• Wallis is the most unpretentious.

How to achieve lush flowering Spathiphyllum

If the pet does not bloom, then you have chosen an overly wide flowerpot. The diameter of the pot should not greatly exceed the size of the root system. Do not forget to spray, preferably 2 times a day.

Irrigation for spathiphyllum is very important. In spring and summer, it needs abundant watering. During flowering, the plant needs a lot of moisture, but this does not mean at all that it should stand in the water, like in a swamp. on the contrary, it is necessary to check whether the soil has time to dry out between waterings. It is very useful to wipe the leaves with a damp cloth or sponge. In the autumn-winter period, watering should be reduced. If it is cold on the windowsill, then the water cools quickly after watering and can damage the root system of the plant.

It is better to transplant "female happiness" every year in the spring. If the pot is small, then the roots fill it completely, leaving no free space. The plant is crowded and it slows down its development. But if the pot is chosen too large, then the spathiphyllum may stop blooming altogether. Therefore, when transplanting, it is necessary to choose a container that is not much wider than the previous one. During transplantation, an earthen lump on the roots should be tried to be preserved. The soil is selected from peat, humus and leafy soil in equal proportions.
