It is one of the most popular indoor plants because it is easy to maintain and has great purifying properties. But how to make the spathiphyllum bloom again and see its beautiful white flowers again?
Generally when you buy, or give as a gift, a spatiphyllum , in addition to having green, elongated and shiny leaves, it also has spathe-shaped flowers (hence the name of the plant). However, after a while, the flower withers, but new ones can form.
It is enough to apply very simple techniques to see the spathiphyllum bloom again and fill it with flowers like when you welcomed it into your home.
5 Ways to Make a Spathiphyllum Flower
#1 Transplant
Transplanting is the first way to guarantee the plant new nutrients, which will contribute to flowering. In this case, choose a larger pot and soil mixed with peat with great drainage capacity. The best time to transplant is spring.
#2 Fertilizer
Fertilizing the plant regularly will ensure all the nutrition possible, so it can bloom again. The best products contain nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.
#3 Light
Spathiphyllum loves light, but not direct sunlight. Place it in a bright place in your house but be careful: if there is too much light you run the risk of burning the leaves.
#4 Temperature
Temperature, as well as humidity, is a very important factor for the flowering of the plant, which does not like to stay below 20ºC, even in winter.
The humidity, on the other hand, must be adequate: spathiphyllum is a plant from rainy areas: it does not like dry environments. However, it may be helpful to spray the leaves with a little water.
#5 Irrigation
The same rule usually applies to all plants: when the soil is dry, you have to water it. It also applies to spathiphyllum which is also an intelligent plant. When it “wants water,” it will fold the leaves down.
