Spathiphyllum, or “women's happiness”, has become a popular houseplant. However, if it doesn't bloom, the problem may be the fertilizer. In order for the plant to please you with green leaves and beautiful flowers, it is important to feed it correctly.
There is no need to spend money on chemical fertilizers. You can use the rice water that remains after cooking rice. This is a natural fertilizer that is well suited for spathiphyllum. Rice water contains magnesium, potassium and phosphorus – everything you need for the development of roots and healthy leaves.
How to use rice water for irrigation:
Cook the rice without salt and seasonings and pour the cooled water into a jar. Leave out of direct sun for 1-2 days. Before watering, mix one part rice water with three parts plain water. Water your spathiphyllum once a month in spring and summer.
This method will help your spathiphyllum strengthen the leaves and increase the chance of flowering. Use rice water in spring and summer and your plant will soon be blessed with beautiful flowers.
