Spathiphyllum is one of the unpretentious indoor plants, but it will stand for years without gorgeous flowers because of one mistake.

The whole secret is in pruning. Its absence or improper implementation of the procedure is fraught with a long absence of flowers.

When to trim

There are several good periods for this procedure: early spring, summer and early autumn. At these moments, "female happiness" develops most actively.

However, gardeners make a mistake by pruning spathiphyllum only in spring or summer. The flower should be pruned more than once a year.

Subtleties of pruning

Spathiphyllum is inspected during the period of active growth. First of all, weak and small shoots that can provoke diseases are removed. Such shoots can hide pests and create an untidy appearance of the "green pet".
