Characteristics of the Spatifilo

Spatiphilian

A very common houseplant is the Spatiphilian. This plant stands out for its large light green leaves and its white calla-like flowers that appear in summer, although if they are well cared for, they can appear all year round.

It's a plant tropical whose name comes from the spathe-shaped flower. The flowers, as I said, appear can appear throughout the year and are made up of only a white petal and an orange spathe. It is also known as the White Flag or Cradle of Moses.

All the leaves of the Espatifilo are quite large in size, with a bright green color. It is a plant formed by bushes, so it always has leaves.

It is ideal for the interior, not only because it does not withstand very low temperatures, but because purifies the environment and the air in homes by absorbing waste and contaminants that may exist.

Their care they are very basic like almost all indoor plants. The direct sun in winter is very good, although not in summer, because it can burn the leaves. It likes humidity, so it is good to spray the leaves from time to time and water it every three days in summer. The fertilizer is made every 20 days and during the flowering season.

In winter, it is good to let it rest so that flourish perfectly. To do this, the waterings should be reduced to one or two a week.

It is a plant that grows quite fast so every year it is usually necessary to transplant it to pots bigger.

If we want to get more plants, we must multiply it through division of the bush, as long as it is not in full bloom, more or less in spring.

It's a nice plant perfect for homes, which, due to its basic colors, combines very well with any decoration.
