All possible options were listed by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

Watering Spathiphyllum

It is possible that the spathiphyllum leaves began to dry out due to excess or, conversely, lack of moisture.

Watering the plant should be moderate. The procedure should be carried out when the top layer of soil (2-3 centimeters) is already dry. Most likely, it will turn out that the spathiphyllum will have to be watered 2-3 times a week.

The plant also needs periodic spraying. The procedure can be performed daily.

Soil for spathiphyllum

Drying of leaves may also be due to poor soil quality.

To solve the problem, it is necessary to transplant the spathiphyllum into a loose nutrient substrate.

Spathiphyllum fertilizing

It is possible that the leaves are drying out due to infrequent fertilization.

The procedure should be performed once every 2-3 weeks, using a complex fertilizer designed specifically for flowering plants.

Light for spathiphyllum

The deterioration of the condition of a houseplant can also be explained by exposure to direct sunlight.

However, this does not mean that the pot with spathiphyllum should be moved to the far corner of the room.

The flora representative still needs light. But diffused. Therefore, leave the plant near the window, but hang a light tulle.
