Many gardeners dream that their spathiphyllum will delight them with lush greenery and large inflorescences. However, quite often “female happiness” refuses to produce snow-white cobs.
The fact is that the successful development of a flower depends on the root system. If the roots are weak and the plant itself suffers from dry air, flowering is out of the question.
However, you can quickly restore strength and health to the plant if you feed the spathiphyllum with fertilizer based on cheap preparations, reports agronomist Elena Nikolaeva on the channel “60 acres in Siberia” (18+).
How to awaken roots and grow powerful leaves
To prepare the elixir we will need:
- water – 1 liter;
- kornevin – 1 g;
- succinic acid – 1/2 tablet;
- spirulina – 2 tablets.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and pour the spathiphyllum strictly at the root. Succinic acid together with root stimulate the growth of new roots, and spirulina saturates the soil with useful elements and improves photosynthesis. Apply this fertilizer once every 14 days.
To prevent yellowing of the foliage, you can separately dilute 1 g of magnesium sulfate in 1 liter of water and also water the soil.
Fertilizing to start flowering
To do this, you need to prepare another fertilizer, which is aimed at stimulating flowering. Dissolve 2 g of monopotassium phosphate and 1 tablet of succinic acid in 1 liter of water. Pour the prepared product onto the spathiphyllum at the root.
It is important to maintain an interval between feedings of at least two weeks. After such care, spathiphyllum will quickly produce large buds and delight you with shiny foliage.
