I placed it on the window side on the second floor. As this plant doesn't like too much sunlight, I always put our lace curtains for sun shade.
Spathiphylum is one of the foliage plants.
I like the white flowers with crescent shape.
I water the plant only once a week, and it grew easily without much attention. I thought that the location was perfect for the plant. Three years ago, I found the plant grew a bit too big for the pot, so I asked my husband, who has a green thumb, to divide the big root. Then, he planted them in two different pots.
Last summer, I noticed that one of them grew so big that I needed to water it twice a week. I usually stay on the first floor and going upstairs to water the plant often was troublesome. So I decided to try to divide the roots by myself. I planted them just like the way my husband did.
Last winter, the two plants which I transferred to two different pots didn't look healthy. Most of the leaves withered. I cut the brown leaves so that they look better.
I asked my husband for his advice. He suggested that I move them to another location with less sun light, so I placed them in the middle of the room.
Three months have passed and I noticed that they didn't have brown leaves anymore. They look delicate but young leaves are just staring to grow. These are signs that they are surviving.
Last week I placed them on the window side again.
I learned something from them. Plants grow when they are taken care of properly. We should water them regularly. After a certain period, changing the small pots to bigger ones or dividing the root would be necessary. However, when we do these things, it makes the plant weaker for a certain period.
Then they like to be in some places with less sun light for certain period. I don't know if it's going to be for 10 days or a few months -- it all depends on the kind and size of the plants. Tend to them regularly.
