Why can't my Spathiphyllum grow big?
Not growing big?
The guest saw that I didn't understand and gestured with his finger, about 20 centimeters long. My first reaction was: Is the potting soil compacted?
Because the potting soil is compacted, nutrients are lost, which leads to poor growth of the Spathiphyllum and not growing tall!
How long have you had it? I asked.
Two years. He replied.
Is the potting soil compacted? After the potting soil is compacted, it is difficult to water thoroughly after watering. Moreover, it causes root hypoxia and rotten roots, poor growth, and naturally not growing tall.
Also, not fertilizing for a long time leads to insufficient nutrition. Wanting the Spathiphyllum to bloom in such a harsh environment is as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Saying this, I showed him an example of well-grown Spathiphyllum by an experienced gardener, the soil of which is loose and well-ventilated.
My soil is relatively soft, he said.
Hearing this, I suddenly understood that his Spathiphyllum is not suffering from soil compaction, but from insufficient nutrition.
Without enough nutrients, it's no wonder the Spathiphyllum can't grow leaves and bloom!
Considering that Spathiphyllum is an ornamental leaf plant, it can be fertilized with leaf ornamental fertilizer and multipurpose compound fertilizer. This way, it is clean and odorless. I said.
I killed my two or three-year-old Clivia miniata by overwatering it the other day. It had bloomed two or three times, he said, with a hint of regret.
If you can take good care of Clivia miniata, then the Spathiphyllum will be fine. Spathiphyllum doesn't need to be watered every day, just water when the potting soil is dry.
The above is a comprehensive explanation of how to deal with the small and not growing tall leaves of Spathiphyllum and the tips for caring for Spathiphyllum, hoping it can help you.
