How to cultivate "Smooth Sailing"
A brief knowledge sharing, introducing how to cultivate "Smooth Sailing" and the cultivation methods and precautions of the green plant flowers. Please see the detailed introduction below.
"Smooth Sailing" is also known as white sail, but its real name is Spathiphyllum, belonging to the Araceae family, a perennial herbaceous plant. Its leaves are green and its flowers are white, resembling white sails, with a good meaning. Some flower enthusiasts say that after cultivating their white sail plant for more than a year, there are very few new leaves, and some leaves are starting to wither from the tips. Initially, it was exposed to direct sunlight, and then it was placed in a place with scattered light for care. What exactly caused such a growth state, and how to make the white sail plant grow better, with more leaves and more frequent and abundant blooming?
What to do if the leaves of the white sail plant wither and do not grow well? Pay attention to these "two points", and the leaves will be green and the flowers abundant.
To improve the growth state of the white sail plant and make it grow better, attention should be paid to the following points:
1. The white sail plant prefers shade and does not tolerate direct sunlight.
The white sail plant, also known as "Smooth Sailing," is a very shade-tolerant and shade-loving potted plant. Therefore, remember not to expose it to direct sunlight in the summer, early autumn, or when the temperature is high and the sunlight is strong, as this can burn the leaves, causing them to wither and turn yellow. We should place it in a bright and well-ventilated indoor area. About 60% of sunlight is enough, but it should not be completely without sunlight, as this makes it difficult for the plant to bloom and its growth will not be good. It should be placed near a window or balcony with good ventilation. If it is always kept in a room with the windows rarely opened, without ventilation, the leaves will lack vitality, look droopy, and easily wither.
2. The white sail plant prefers a warm and humid growing environment and does not tolerate cold.
Therefore, in winter, it should be placed indoors or in a greenhouse, maintaining a temperature of at least 10 degrees to prevent leaf frostbite. It prefers a high-temperature environment, so the normal growth temperature is about 20 degrees. Maintaining this temperature is ideal for rapid growth. During dry weather, high temperatures, and drought seasons, in addition to watering on time, you can also use a spray bottle to spray water on the leaves to maintain air humidity. This will make the leaves look lush and green. When watering, start from the top of the plant.
How to cultivate "Smooth Sailing"
Additionally, the potting soil for the white sail plant is very important. Since easily compacted soil or soil that sticks together too easily is not suitable for cultivating white sail plants, it is best to use loose and breathable sandy soil, such as using decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, river sand, or perlite in a 2:2:1 ratio.
This kind of soil mixture will make the white sail plant grow better and is more conducive to the growth of its roots and leaves. The pot should not be too small or too large, with a diameter of 20 to 30 centimeters being ideal. How to cultivate "Smooth Sailing"? Pay attention to light, temperature, and watering, and the new leaves will keep growing, with more blooming!
