The flower with the beautiful name “women’s happiness” is loved not only for its lush greenery, but also for its unusually attractive white inflorescences.

However, according to the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , owners of spathiphyllum often complain that it is in no hurry to throw out flower stalks.

Reasons why spathiphyllum does not bloom

1. The pot is too big

If the flower is planted in an overly spacious pot, you will not see it bloom for a long time. The thing is that the plant will bloom only after its roots fill the entire pot.

2. Incorrect placement

For spathiphyllum and, accordingly, for its flowering, not only the volume of the pot is important, but also the place where it is placed. "Women's happiness" does not tolerate drafts and bright sunlight.

3. Insufficient humidity

Another mistake in growing spathiphyllum is that the flower is often forced to grow in conditions of too dry air. This problem is especially relevant in winter with its working heating batteries.

4. Lack or excess of nutrition

It is necessary to feed the plant, but do not get too carried away, otherwise you risk getting a lush bush consisting exclusively of greenery.
