Also called «cradle of Moses» due to the curved shape of its leaves, this plant is made up of about 60 species that are generally found in tropical areas of countries such as Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama and Venezuela.
We want to teach you about mint and its care, as well as the most important tips for spathiphyllum care, which will surely be very useful to start your own planting at home.
spathiphyllum care
As it is a tropical plant with a lush and continuous growth, the best care you can offer it to ensure that its growth and reproduction are adequate are the following:
- Place the plant at room temperature more or less between 15 ºC and 25 ºC, but in a space where there is not much wind.
- Always locate the plant in a semi-shaded space, never allow full sun to reach it.
- Keep the leaves moist to prevent them from drying out.
- Fertilize the plant at least every 2 weeks. In cold weather it could be once a week.
Spathiphyllum pot care
As we always tell you, the best way to keep a plant in a pot is to provide it with a healthy habitat and fresh conditions for its growth. You should have a pot with a wide mouth and a wide interior filled with a mixed substrate, as this allows the roots to spread. Another important recommendation is that once the plant is growing and needs to be transplanted, you do it annually to a larger pot, in times of warm temperatures.
Spathiphyllum indoor care
Although it is a plant that loves sun and excessive light, it is also able to grow indoors but may not have the same flowering as when exposed outdoors. The spathiphyllum is a good option to decorate the entrance of the home and it should be watered indoors only when the substrate looks dry, taking care to hydrate the leaves and the soil very well.
Spathiphyllum care yellow leaves
The excess of sunlight and the excess of water in the watering are the main reasons why the spathophyllum shows burnt leaves that can be yellowish or brown. To recover the plant, you could let the substrate dry out and water it again. Remember that burned leaves will have to be cut or removed for new ones to flourish.
A good way to keep the plant hydrated is by constantly watering it twice a week, ensuring that the leaves are properly moistened. You must keep in mind that the substrate does not get too wet as this could drown the roots and end up rotting the spathophyllum.
Very good news is that this species usually blooms throughout the year, but you will notice that in the warm seasons such as summer and spring it is the moment of greatest exuberance in its flowering.
