So,

1. Prepare a flowerpot for transplantation. Its diameter should be 2-3 cm larger than the diameter of the previous flowerpot. Be sure to pour boiling water from the inside

Interesting: Feng Shui experts recommend using a rounded metallic color for spathiphyllums.

2. Gently remove the plant from the previous flowerpot. To simplify the extraction process - well soak the soil in a flower pot

3. Be sure to free the roots of the plant from drainage (if used) and soil residues

4. Unfortunately, peduncles must be cut off. This will allow the plant not to waste the time and time on flowering and ties of seeds

5. Too young leaves and leaves that begin to wither are subject to removal. Brown peeling remnants of the bases of old leaves also break off

6. Be sure to carefully inspect the root system of the plant. To cut too long root threads and areas with traces of decay. Sprinkle root sections with activated carbon or cinnamon
7. Check that you have chosen fluids have through holes below (such holes serve as a kind of drainage system). Another prerequisite for the flowering life of the plant: the presence of a drainage layer at the bottom. Drainage can consist of small pebbles, brick fragments or expanded clay. The latter can be bought in any store specializing in the sale of indoor plants. The thickness of the drainage layer is 1.5-2 cm and only now you can pour a soil substrate into a flowerpot (half of the volume of the flowerpot)
8. In the center of the container, install the plant. Try to evenly distribute the roots of spatifalum, filling the entire surface of the soil. Cover the root system of the plant with the remaining soil

9. Note! In the natural habitat, spathiphyllum has a developed system of air roots. Air roots are also present in indoor plants. No need to deepen them into the soil!

11. After the transplant, pamper female happiness by spraying

Tip: If you are not tolerated again to see the blooming spathifalism again, arrange him a mini-orange. Wrap the flower into transparent polyethylene to prevent the rapid evaporation of moisture and create the perfect microclimate. Water and spray the flower in normal mode

Tip: flowers are better to transplant during the period of the growing moon

• The yellow leaves of the plant indicate the presence of too much bright sunlight in the life of your pet. Provide the plant with partial shade and everything will work out

• The blackening, which affects the large area of \u200b\u200bthe sheet, may indicate hypothermia of the root system (especially in winter), excess moisture in the soil (overflow), overfing fertilizers

Why does female happiness wither?

1. Many flower growers make the same mistake: they overdry an earthen lump. By watering the flower in a generally accepted way (from above), you moisturize only the upper soil layer. This may not be enough for the normal life of the plant, because the main root system is located below. And in the lower layers of the earthen coma, moisture may not reach. That is why the soil in flower flowerpots is moistened in a very interesting way: they simply put the container with a flower in a bucket or a deep bowl of water. Thus, the soil is moistened from the bottom up, draining the root system of the plant and the drainage layer with moisture. A sign of sufficient moisture saturation is the formation of a wet halo around a flower outlet

2. Another reason for the wilting of spathifloam is the saturation of moisture and, as a result, the occurrence of rotting of the roots. The main feature indicating the rotting of the root system is constantly wet soil (even if irrigation is rare). The plant needs to be transplanted immediately! How to do this described at the beginning of the article

The fluid secreted by the plant is not poisonous, and the process of guttation is completely unrelated to the psycho -emotional state of the owner of the flower
