Many people keep spathiphyllum for years, but it still does not please with flowers. At the same time, there is watering, the light seems to be normal, but the buds do not appear. It's not a matter of care, but the fact that the plant lacks one simple element.
Take iodine from your home medicine cabinet. Add 2 drops to 1 liter of water, mix well and pour this solution over the soil in the pot. Do this once a month.
Water only when the soil is already slightly damp, so the iodine will not burn the roots. And do not pour the solution on the leaves, only at the root.
Iodine in small doses stimulates the activity of the root system, improves the absorption of nitrogen and potassium and gives the plant a signal that it can bloom.
In just a few weeks you will see a dense bud appear in the center of the bush. And after a couple of weeks, the spathiphyllum will bloom a white flower, even if it is in partial shade.
Question and answer:
Why is iodine better than store-bought fertilizers?
Many ready-made fertilizers contain excess nitrogen, which stimulates leaf growth but inhibits flowering. Iodine acts precisely and without unnecessary chemicals and without the risk of overfeeding.
How often can I water spathiphyllum with iodine?
No more than once a month. Frequent use upsets the balance of microelements and harms the plant. For prevention, 3-4 feedings in the warm season are enough.
Why is iodine dangerous for plants?
In large quantities, iodine causes root burn and chlorosis of leaves. To avoid this, water only when the soil is damp and never pour the solution on the leaves.
