Spathiphyllum flowerpot: care features

The Spathiphyllum indoor plant will delight you with its beauty for a long time if you follow these recommendations:
● Lighting. Prefers diffused lighting, since direct sunlight can damage the leaves and cause them to burn. It feels good on eastern and western windows, as well as in bright artificial lighting.
● Watering. Should be regular, but moderate. This plant likes moist soil, but does not tolerate stagnant water. It is best to water it when the top layer of soil dries out by 2-3 cm. In winter, watering should be reduced to prevent over-watering. It is also important that water does not accumulate in the tray.
● Temperature and humidity. It is recommended to maintain a temperature of 18 to 24 ° C without sudden fluctuations and drafts. The plant will appreciate regular spraying or placing it next to a humidifier. You can also place the pot on a tray with pebbles to increase air humidity, adding water periodically.
● Soil and replanting. Light, air- and water-permeable soil is suitable. You can use ready-made mixtures or make your own from equal parts of peat, humus and sand. It is recommended to replant in the spring, when the roots fill the pot and the plant begins to experience a lack of space.
● Fertilizer. Feed with complex fertilizers for decorative foliage plants every 2-3 weeks in the spring and summer. In winter, the frequency of feeding can be reduced.
● Leaf care. Leaves can sometimes become covered in dust, so they should be regularly wiped with a damp sponge. If you notice yellowing or brown leaves, this may indicate problems with watering or lighting.
