It is one of the most popular houseplants because it is easy to maintain and has great purifying properties. But how do you get the spathiphyllum to bloom again and see its beautiful white flowers again?

Generally when you buy, or give away, a spatiphyllum, in addition to having green, elongated and shiny leaves, it also has spathe-shaped flowers (hence the name of the plant). However, after a while, the flower wilts, but new ones can form.

It is enough to apply very simple techniques to see the spathiphyllum bloom again and fill it with flowers just like when you welcomed it into your home.

5 Ways to Make a Spathiphyllum Flower

#1 Hassle

Repotting is the first way to guarantee the plant new nutrients, which will contribute to flowering. In this case, choose a larger pot and soil mixed with peat moss with high drainage capacity. The best time to transplant is spring.

#2 Fertilizer

Fertilizing the plant regularly will ensure as much nutrition as possible, so it can bloom again. The best products contain nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus.

#3 Light

Spathiphyllum loves light, but not direct sunlight. Place it in a bright place in your home but be careful: if there is too much light you run the risk of burning the leaves.

#4 Temperature

Temperature, as well as humidity, is a very important factor for the flowering of the plant, which does not like to stay below 20 ºC, even in winter.

Humidity, on the other hand, must be adequate: spathiphyllum is a pluvial zone plant: it does not like dry environments. However, it can be helpful to spray the leaves with a little water.

#5 Watering

The same rule usually applies to all plants: when the soil is dry, it should be watered. It also applies to spathiphyllum, which is also a smart plant. When it “wants water,” it will fold the leaves down.
