Why blacken flowers or leaves Spathiphyllum (female happiness), and how to help the plant?

Despite the fact that a woman's happiness (aka - Spathiphyllum) is quite unpretentious and does not require a particularly easy-care, those who cultivate it, is quite common a problem.

This blackening of flowers or leaves of the plant. To solve it is not that difficult, but it is important to understand the reason why. I told her to identify and help the plant.

Possible problems and how to solve them

• an overabundance of moisture. Despite the fact that Spathiphyllum enough water-loving plant, the water stagnates in the overabundance of the root system.

The plant is just beginning to rot. In this case, turn black and the flowers, and leaves. To solve this problem, it is necessary to reduce the frequency and amount of watering.

Plant can be transplanted into a new soil, if the situation is severe and does not "fill" it more.

• dry air. Spathiphyllum hard to tolerate the lack of humidity in the room. A sure sign that this is the problem - the leaves darken and dry, starting from the tips. To solve the problem, the plant should be regularly sprayed with an atomizer.

If you have an aquarium, a good solution would be to establish a flower next to it, it would be beneficial for his state. But do not overdo it with the moisture, otherwise there is a previous problem, and the leaves will still blacken.

• burns. Women's happiness can not be placed in direct sunlight, otherwise the leaves get burned. Note the location of the plant and move it if necessary. Lighting should be sufficient, but scattered.

• Drafts, changes in temperature, hypothermia. It is a tropical plant, it is absolutely not tolerate overcooling and especially drafts. The leaves and buds with the wither, blacken and fall off. The problem is also solved by a change of location of the plant.
• The lack or excess fertilizer. Spathiphyllum needs a weekly fertilizing in spring and summer. In cold weather, it is necessary to feed a lot less, I do it about once a month.

Excess fertilizer not less detrimental than insufficient. They appear the same way: the plant turns black, starting with the tips of the leaves.

Observe the rules of care for women's happiness is simple, it is quite unpretentious. Doing it right, you get a healthy Spathiphyllum and the problem of blackening of leaves or flowers the plant will bypass your side.
