Spathiphyllum, also known as the Dropping Lily or Buddhist Hand Lily, has medicinal value. It is called Spathiphyllum because the tip or edge of the leaves drips water, and when it blooms, it resembles the Goddess of Mercy.
Methods and precautions for raising Spathiphyllum:
1. Spathiphyllum can be cultivated in a nutrient-rich soil mixture of decomposed leaf soil, peat soil, river sand, and a small amount of well-rotted cake fertilizer. Aquatic cultivation is also an option. It is important to prevent root rot, add nutrient solution in a timely manner, and usually change the pot once a year in spring. Loosen the soil once a month to keep the potting soil well-ventilated.
2. The suitable growth temperature for Spathiphyllum is between 20°C and 30°C, with the minimum temperature being 8°C. In summer, place Spathiphyllum in a semi-shaded and well-ventilated area, and spray water on the leaves to lower the temperature. In winter, move Spathiphyllum indoors for maintenance.
3. Spathiphyllum prefers moisture and should be kept in a slightly moist state with an air humidity of not less than 60%. When the temperature is high in summer, you can spray water around the plant to increase indoor humidity. When the room temperature cannot reach 15°C in winter, water should be controlled to prevent root rot. Generally, you can spray warm water once a week to keep the leaves green.
4. Spathiphyllum is fond of fertilizer. From March to October, liquid fertilizer should be applied every half month, with an appropriate increase in the carbon element ratio.
5. Spathiphyllum prefers to grow in a semi-shaded environment and should be placed in an area that is both shaded and well-ventilated.
6. Spathiphyllum is an ornamental leaf plant. If not properly maintained, the leaves may turn yellow. In such cases, the leaves and stems can be cut off together with a knife to avoid affecting the growth of other leaves.
7. Spathiphyllum is an ornamental leaf plant with large leaves and a strong transpiration effect. However, the sap of Spathiphyllum is toxic. Prevent it from dripping into the eyes or being ingested to avoid eye inflammation and throat swelling.
