Fertilize Spathiphyllum
In the spring let’s use a fertilizer every 15-20 days, melting it in the water which we use to irrigate; we can choose a fertilizer for flowering plants or green plants, rich with nitrogen and potassium to favour a balanced development of the new vegetation. Otherwise we can, if we want to, use a slow release fertilizer, to add to the soil, every 3-4 months.

Cultivation Spathiphyllum
The Spathiphyllum develops like a perennial herb. This plant in the winter assumes a white colouring; it is small in size and can reach 30 cm high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. Growing they develop a round-shape shrub.

Water SpathiphyllumTenere Umido
To avoid that a scarce drainage could favour the development of fungal diseases, let's remember to avoid leaving water in the saucer. The Spathiphyllum Needs regular watering, but we suggest letting the soil dry between one watering and the other; let's take action every 1-2 weeks , remembering to water the substratum well with 2-3 glasses of water .

Pests Spathiphyllum
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Mold Spathiphyllum
These plants need to be grown in a soil which isn’t too drained. Every 2-3 years we should change the soil and place the plant in a larger container.

Plant - Spathiphyllum

Seeing the quite contained development it’s possible to grow these plants in a container. The indications given in this article are related to a medium size plant.
