To raise Spathiphyllum, we should choose loose soil with good aeration and drainage, keep the soil slightly wet, apply fertilizer once a month, do not use raw fertilizer, and give it sufficient sunlight. In addition, we should pay attention to the prevention and control of common diseases and insect pests.

I. breeding environment

1. Soil: loose soil with good aeration and drainage should be selected.

2. Watering: keep the soil slightly moist. In summer or dry weather, increase watering properly, spray water on the leaves or all around, and keep a certain humidity. In winter or when the temperature is low, reduce watering properly, and if the watering amount is large, it will lead to rotten roots..

3. Fertilization: once a month, use concentrated fertilizer instead of raw fertilizer. When applying fertilizer, loosen the soil properly, promote its better absorption of nutrients, and water appropriately the next day. In addition, when the temperature is high or low, it grows slowly, so it is necessary to stop fertilization.

4. Light: proper amount of light is more conducive to its growth. It can be better grown by giving it all day light in spring and autumn and winter. In summer, when the temperature is high, avoid direct sunlight, and properly block the sunshine.

2. Breeding methods

1. Sowing and propagation: first of all, disinfect the soil, soak the seeds in warm water for 10 hours and then dry them, cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, keep the soil moist, and germinate about 25 days after sowing. When the seedlings grow 1-2 true leaves, they can be planted in pots..

2. Branch propagation: it is most suitable for branch propagation in spring and autumn. After the whole plant is detached, the rhizome is cut open. After the branch is planted, it is placed in a semi negative environment. After the branch, the soil should be loosened frequently to maintain the permeability of the soil.

3. Common diseases and insect pests

1. Root rot: it will cause brown spots on the leaves or stems when the disease occurs, and even death of the leaves when the disease is serious. In order to avoid disturbing more plants, it is necessary to remove the diseased plants and dead leaves in time and clean the rotten parts. Can use root rot spirit to fill root easily.

2. Aphid: it will cause the stem and leaf to curl. After finding the aphid, it should be sprayed with medicine in time. When the insect damage is less, it can be scraped with bamboo.
