March - a special time in the care of Spathiphyllum ( "women's happiness"). Why did he have blooms from me?

And you know the feeling when a saved flower goes to the growth and bloom then? Then you can imagine my joy when I saw that the "Female happiness" on the window sill bloomed in snow outside the window:

As you can see, standing next to another. he, too, is gaining now "bud". This is evidenced by thickening at the growth of new leaves.

But in the fall it was sickly delenki left after the rescue to rot and marshes flooded Spathiphyllum (it happens!). How did it happen and how I saved the plant - must discuss in another article. And now, as they say, to the point.

In March Spathiphyllum waking up (if there is no additional lighting). And then it comes to the growth and ready to bloom, which is well seen in my photo.

To say that he came out of the rest period, is not entirely correct, because the winter dormancy it relative. This botanical term means that the flower can grow well and bloom all winter. But do not do it because of unfavorable conditions. In my case - short daylight hours.

Our goal - to help the flower to reach their potential in the warm season.

The first task - to transplant, if the pot has become small. And March - it's time, even if the "Women's happiness" has gained buds. Transplanting transshipment almost does not harm the roots. And, if you do everything right, the plant did not notice anything. By the way, all sorts of Epinay-zirconium after the transplant, I do not use principle. But if it will calm you, you can use stimulants, adaptogens.

Basically, Spathiphyllum likes to close the dishes. While the plot of about 70% did not fill the surface, you can not touch. Deficiency of nutrients in the ground in such a case is renewable regular dressings.

The need to transplant the roots will say, looking out of the drainage holes, and rapid (not like before) drying the soil. I check how it is wet, every 2-3 days, so the difference is immediately apparent.

The new pot should be only 1.5-2 cm more than the previous. To the soil, as I understand, Spathiphyllum are no special requirements. I planted in the ground 2 options: universal for decorative and flowering and its mixture with perlite for the looseness of the soil. To be honest, the difference is not noticed. Both plants grow perfectly.

about lighting. I Spathiphyllum standing on the window sill, open to the east. This light even in February it was enough to bloom. Therefore, it makes no sense to think especially for a box to put a pot. Can bloom in partial shade, such as a table by the window.

ABOUT watering. Someone says winter watering less often, but I always watered the flower alike. As soon as 1 cm of soil about dried out. I do not cut it Spathiphyllum watering in winter, because due to battery ground dries out more quickly than in the summer. On average, the hospital everyone is happy.

An important observation: I stopped spray your Spathiphyllum and nothing happened to him. Is there any dry ends? Very little. I show leaves on my picture below:

With the arrival of March, I'm certainly not going to change anything. Even the "scientifically", spraying increases the humidity is only for a short time. I do not think that the daily mess with the spray will produce some kind of transformative effect! To effectively use the humidifier.

But now the concern of many - feeding in early spring. Some argue that as long as the daylight hours are not big enough to feed does not make sense. I believe that the plant itself knows that it is better. When it comes to growth - then you need to feed.

I'm not going to transplant their Spathiphyllum because pot still enough for them. But the supply of nutrients in the soil has already been partially consumed. Therefore I am making further:

What? Of course, liquid complex fertilizer for decorative and flowering. It is clear and simple. And most importantly - always lead to the desired result. As you can tell by the photo above, I personally prefer the "Flower Happiness" by Fusco. Artist and composition, and the effect, and convenient container closure. No ads - can find similar in the drug composition that pleases you.
