Spathiphyllum is a perennial houseplant, a representative of the aroid family. This flower with beautiful dark green leaves, producing a chic white inflorescence during flowering, will truly become your favorite.
Spathiphyllum flowers are quite unpretentious, the most important thing is to put them in the right place, avoiding direct sunlight. When exposed to the sun, leaves will form burns. A very shaded place for spathiphyllum will also be unacceptable, it needs a fairly bright diffused light.
Indoor plant requires a sufficiently high humidity. Therefore, frequent spraying, shower from time to time, a pan in which moist sand is poured, will only benefit him. With insufficient moisture in the spathiphyllum, the tips of the leaves begin to dry out. During flowering, the plant should be sprayed with extreme caution, not allowing water to fall on the blossoming flower.
Indoor spathiphyllum flower (photo attached) watering is required very moderately. It is impossible to prevent both excessive overdrying of the earth in the pot and overmoistening, these actions extremely negatively affect the development of the plant and can even lead to its death. In winter, watered less often than in spring and summer. If watering is insufficient, this can be determined by the leaves of the plant: they have a drooping appearance.
Spatiphyllum flowers are usually transplanted when the roots completely fill the entire volume of the pot. The plant is very sensitive to damage to the roots, so it should be transplanted as carefully as possible. You should not immediately plant a flower in a container of much larger size, otherwise it will throw all its strength into the development of the root system and simply cease to bloom. The best time for transplanting is spring.
From the beginning of spring to the end of the growing season, spathiphyllum needs to be actively fed with mineral fertilizers without lime. With an excess of fertilizers in the plant, brown spots begin to appear at the ends of the leaves.
Spatiphyllum flowers are most often propagated by dividing the bush, you can cuttings. But usually the plant gives additional bushes in 2-3 leaves, which are very good to transplant in the spring. When cultivated by cuttings, they are usually rooted using wet sand.
Growing difficulties

Question: "Why does spathiphyllum have green flowers?"
Answer: "This is a completely normal occurrence when the flowers of a plant begin to fade, they become greenish, then dry up and fall away."
Question: "Why does not spathiphyllum bloom?"
Answer: “The main reason for non-blooming is the overly large pot for the plant. Spatiphyllum flowers bloom when the container is filled with roots, in other cases (with an excess of free space) all the flower’s power is directed to the development of the root system. Just transplant the plant into a smaller pot and create favorable conditions for him. "
