How often should you water Spathiphyllum?

How often you water Spathiphyllum depends on the temperature. If the temperature is above 28 degrees, the water is consumed quickly, so you need to water it frequently, once every two days. If the temperature is below 15 degrees, it is best if the soil is dry, so you need to reduce the frequency of watering, and water it once a week or so. In the low temperature environment of winter, you need to control the water level even more, and don't water it if the soil is not dry. Spathiphyllum likes a slightly acidic soil environment, so you need to use soft and slightly acidic water for watering, such as rainwater, snow water, river water, well water and pond water.

How to water Spathiphyllum

1. Watering principles : When watering Spathiphyllum, follow the principle of not watering unless the soil is dry, and watering thoroughly when watering. Water only when the soil is relatively dry, and water thoroughly when watering. In early spring and winter, water in small amounts or not water at all to avoid frostbite of the plant.

2. Watering in the rainy season : In the rainy season, reduce the number of watering or stop watering, and drain the excess water in time when there is water accumulation.

Things to note when watering Spathiphyllum

1. Do not water too much : No matter what season you water, be careful not to water too much. Too much here refers to the frequency and amount of watering. If the soil is too wet, it will easily cause the roots of the Spathiphyllum to rot.

2. Don’t water halfway : Don’t water only halfway each time you water, that is, the top is wet while the bottom is still dry. You need to ensure that it is watered thoroughly so that the soil is moist both above and below.

What to do if you overwater Spathiphyllum

If you water the Spathiphyllum too much, it may cause root rot after a period of time. However, this takes some time. If you realize that you have watered too much right after watering, you can use a small shovel to turn over the soil, pour out the excess water, and then put it in a cool place to dry the soil.
