If you are looking for a beautiful and easy-care plant that is suitable for beginners, the spathiphyllum is definitely the one for you. Also known as the spoon plant , it is one of the most well-known and widespread houseplants in the world.
Being very resistant, the spathiphyllum is very easy to maintain. Few people know, however, that by following small precautions it is possible to make the spathiphyllum bloom all year round .
One of the main benefits of this plant is that it is able to absorb mold and bacterial particles, thus purifying the air in the home.
Light . Spathiphyllum likes abundant, indirect light. In low light conditions, it will bloom anyway, but it will always do so in a decreasing manner, until only the green leaves remain.
Humidity . This plant is native to Central America and therefore prefers a humid environment. If you live in an area with low humidity, mist it with water daily or use a humidifier.
Watering . During the warmer months, make sure to keep the soil moist at all times, but avoiding water stagnation. In winter, however, you can reduce the frequency of watering.
Temperature . The ideal temperature for spathiphyllum is between 15 and 20°C. Although it is not a very demanding plant in this sense, it is still necessary to avoid exposing it to wind and frost during the winter.
Flowering . Indirect light is the most important aspect to ensure abundant flowering. Make sure to keep the soil moist at all times.
Fertilizer . Apply a dedicated fertilizer in spring and summer to keep the plant healthy and blooming abundantly.
