Peace Lilyis a pot plant valued for its beautiful flowers, composed of a white inflorescence sheath with a creamy-yellow butt in the center. It usually blooms from spring to fall. However, often the perennial plant grown in an apartment refuses to bloom, losing much of its charm. Find out about the 3 most important reasonswhy the winged flower does not bloomand see how to fix them.
Often times, the winged flower does not bloom. What to do to make it bloom like the one in the photo?
The Winged Flower does not bloom because it has too little light
Reading many articles, we will always find information that the wingworm likes shade. Yes, he likes it, and he can handle it in the shade as well, butin full shade, the winged flower will not bloomIn order to produce flowers, it needs a bright position, only not strongly sunlit.
The best place is a cupboard or shelf away from direct sunlight coming through the window (preferably about 1 meter from the window). The spider moth should not stand next to the window, because direct hot sun rays are deadly for the plant. Leaves become faded and burn spots appear, causing the leaves to turn brown.
The Winged Flower does not bloom because it is poorly fertilized
The Peace Lily creates a lot of lush green leaves. Therefore, a natural choice for fertilizing such a plant seems to be a fertilizer for potted plants with green leaves. However, these types of fertilizers are mainly rich in nitrogen.When nitrogen fertilization is applied, the green parts of the plant actually develop abundantly - the pteroflower has large, lush green leaves. However, it takes place at the expense of flowering.
Therefore,when the perennial is not blooming , replace the fertilizer for plants with green leaves with fertilizer for flowering plants. These types of fertilizers contain less nitrogen and more potassium and phosphorus. These elements favor abundant flowering. Such fertilizer is usually used every 7 days, by measuring the appropriate dose specified on the package.
Peace Lily does not bloom because it is watered with hard water
Hard and cold water causesbrown spots to appear on the leaves of the perennialbetween the veins. It also causes the surface of the soil to develop mold in the pot or scale at the edge of the pot. As a result, the plant's growth is impaired, and hence, it ceases to bloom and no longer produces new flowers.
The winged flower naturally occurs in rainforests where the rains are warm and the water itself is soft.So, forto flower abundantly , use soft and warm water. An additional effect, enhancing the growth and flowering of the perennial flower, is a slight acidification of the water with lemon juice (a few drops in a water bottle) or citric acid (half a teaspoon per 1 liter of water). We use this treatment 1-2 times a month when watering.
We should also remember not to water the plants excessively. Although the pheygium loves a lot of moisture, the soil in the pot should be kept moist, but not wet, and between waterings, allow the topsoil to dry out. Excess water in the pot causes the roots to rot, which means thatperennial does not bloomand may even die.
Following these few rules will ensure that our pteroflower will bloom systematically and profusely. It is also worth adding that it is an air-purifying plant, so it is worth having it in your home even if the winged flower is not blooming.
