What flower is the peace lily? How to grow a peace lily well
The peace lily is a kind of flower, and many people want to grow it as soon as they hear the name. The peace lily carries a beautiful blessing. But it is also believed that many people are not clear about how to grow a peace lily. Below we will look in detail at what flower the peace lily is and how to grow a peace lily well.
How to grow a peace lily: substrate selection. The peace lily (Spathiphyllum) needs loose potting soil with good drainage and aeration. Before obtaining high-quality seedlings, a growing substrate must be prepared. The substrate can be ordinary Northeast peat or imported German peat, but in both cases 15%-20% perlite must be added and stirred evenly; choose large-particle perlite, and at the same time be careful not to crush the perlite. The prepared substrate is required to have an EC value of about 0.7 mS/cm and a pH value maintained at about 5.5.
How to grow a peace lily: temperature control. The peace lily is a heat-loving species and should be cultivated in a high-temperature greenhouse. The most suitable daytime and nighttime temperature for the peace lily is 20°C-21°C, and the maximum should not exceed 24°C. If the daytime temperature is relatively high, as compensation, the nighttime temperature can be appropriately lowered. For example, if the daytime temperature is 27°C for 6 hours, then at night the temperature should be kept at 9°C for 6 hours. Other situations can be deduced in the same way. Pay special attention: if the peace lily is kept in a low-temperature state for a long time, it easily causes leaves to drop or turn scorched yellow.
How to grow a peace lily: water management. The peace lily likes a moist environment. The substrate must always be kept moist; do not wait until the substrate is completely dry before watering. The water management method of "dry then wet" is not suitable for the peace lily, and it also increases the chance of root infection, which is not conducive to growth. Watering is best done by overhead spraying, but the seedling bed must have good drainage. The EC value of the spray water should not exceed 0.8 mS/cm at most, otherwise it is unfavorable to crop growth.
How to grow a peace lily: the most suitable relative humidity for peace lily growth is 75%-85%. A fine-nozzle sprayer should often be used to spray water onto the leaf surface, and water should also be sprinkled on the ground around the plant to keep the air moist, which is very beneficial to its growth and development. When the climate is dry and the air humidity is low, new leaves will become smaller and yellow, and in severe cases will wither, turn yellow and drop. If nighttime humidity is greater than 80%, be sure to raise the greenhouse temperature by 1°C-2°C 1 hour before sunrise in the early morning, lasting until 2 hours after sunrise, to avoid infection by pathogens.
How to grow a peace lily: light control. The peace lily is relatively shade-tolerant. When light intensity exceeds 250 w/m2, the peace lily should be shaded. In northern regions in summer, 65%-85% of sunlight can be blocked; direct strong light is taboo, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow, and in severe cases sunscald will occur.
How to grow a peace lily: fertilization management. Because the peace lily has relatively many tillers, more fertilizer can be applied. In the vegetative growth stage, the N:K ratio of the nutrient solution sprayed is 2:1; in the reproductive growth stage, the N:K ratio of the nutrient solution sprayed is 1.5:1, which can make the reproductive growth of the peace lily dominant and promote flowering.
