How to care for the recently transplanted Spathiphyllum
A bit of knowledge to share with you on how to care for the recently transplanted Spathiphyllum and the related experience of planting techniques for Spathiphyllum, next, the editor will introduce to netizens.
Nowadays, people like to keep several pots of green plants at home, which not only freshens the eyes but also helps purify the air. Plants like Epipremnum aureum, Chlorophytum comosum, and Monstera deliciosa are all good choices.
But the type of green plant introduced by Huahua today has always been controversial. Its leaves are not only very large and lush but can even drip water when cared for properly. However, its branches and leaves, as well as the dripping water, contain toxicity, which has made many flower enthusiasts who love it hesitant, and this is Spathiphyllum.
In fact, the toxicity of Spathiphyllum is not as exaggerated as rumored. As long as we master the correct care methods, not only can we keep its leaves lush and green, but its toxic substances will not harm us. Let's take a look with Huahua!
I. Soil
Spathiphyllum has a very strong adaptability and does not picky about soil. It can even be cared for with garden soil. However, if you want Spathiphyllum to grow more vigorously with greener leaves, a loose, fertile, well-drained, and permeable soil is more suitable. Adding some decomposed fertilizer to the bottom of the pot before planting will make the soil rich in nutrients and less prone to waterlogging, allowing the roots to grow better.
II. Water
The growth of Spathiphyllum cannot be separated from sufficient water, so we should water it thoroughly as soon as the surface of the soil turns white. Especially in spring, summer, and autumn, it is essential not to lack water, maintaining the humidity of the care environment, frequently spraying water on the leaves to keep them moist, and preventing the leaves from drying out and turning yellow.

In winter, when the temperature is relatively low, the roots absorb water slowly, so the amount of watering can be reduced appropriately. There is no need to water if the potting soil is not dry. However, in the northern indoor environment with heating, it is still necessary to maintain the humidity of the air and soil. Place the Spathiphyllum away from the heat source, or the leaves will also dry out easily.
III. Nutrients
The roots of Spathiphyllum are very developed, and its growth rate is also very fast, so it is necessary to ensure sufficient nutrients during the growth process. Except for winter, it is necessary to apply a dilute compound fertilizer every two months to maintain growth. However, if the temperature drops below 15 degrees Celsius in winter, all forms of fertilization should be stopped. At this time, the growth of the roots is very slow, and fertilizing will only increase the burden on the roots, even causing fertilizer damage.
IV. Light
Spathiphyllum does not require much light. It prefers to live in a shady environment, so when caring for it at home, it should be placed in a place with sufficient scattered light. Even in the gentle light of winter or in the morning and evening, it should be allowed to receive some direct sunlight. Otherwise, the leaves of Spathiphyllum will become very thin and even listless.
