Spathiphyllum

An air filter in the form of a stunning and powerful plant – that’s Spathiphyllum. It has strong air-purifying properties, flowers abundantly and is also easy to care for; what more could anyone want? A long life? Tick: Spathiphyllums last very long time!

This South American powerhouse was introduced to Europe in 1870. You can recognise the plant immediately by its upright flowers that are always white. Each variety has its unique characteristics, such as the size of the flower or the size and shape of the leaves. At Van der Voort Potplanten Spathiphyllums are available in various pot sizes, leaf shapes and flower sizes, so the plant always matches the customer’s requirements.

How to care for a Spathiphyllum? Place the plant in a moderately light or shady spot in the home or office. Definitely not in direct sunlight! The ideal temperature is between 15 and 23 degrees Centigrade. Keep the soil damp by giving plenty of water approximately once a week. A layer of water at the base is perfect! And add some plant food once a month, to help this powerhouse enjoy an exceptionally long life!

Spathiphyllum flowers for some four to six weeks, and then needs a few weeks rest to develop new buds.
