How to care for a Spathiphyllum 'Maximo Cupido'
Watering Spathiphyllum 'Maximo Cupido'
Spathiphyllum 'Maximo Cupido' prefers even watering, without the potting soil becoming soggy. Water as soon as the top centimeter of soil feels slightly dry. Avoid prolonged puddles of water in the pot; drain excess water from the saucer. During the winter months, you can water less frequently, as the plant grows more slowly. A good tip is to use rainwater or filtered tap water for optimal growth.
Light Spathiphyllum 'Maximo Cupido'
This peace lily thrives in partial shade to bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. It's best to place it about a meter from an east- or west-facing window. It still thrives in rooms with less natural light, just like the Aglaonema Silver Bay and the Dracaena Marginata . Rotate the pot occasionally so that all sides of the plant receive sufficient light.
Nutrition and fertilization
Between April and September, you can feed your Spathiphyllum 'Maximo Cupido' monthly with a liquid houseplant fertilizer. This will keep the leaves a fresh green and encourage new flowers to appear regularly. Outside the growing season (October–March), feeding every two months is sufficient. Use a balanced fertilizer, such as a 20-20-20 NPK mix, for healthy growth stimulation. The fertilizer also contributes to better resistance to pests and diseases.
Frequently occurring problems
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves can indicate either too much or too little water. First, check the moisture level of the potting mix. Too dry results in yellowed and dry leaf edges; too wet causes yellowing and dropping leaves. Adjust your watering routine and remove dead leaves to stimulate new growth.
Plant dripping
If Spathiphyllum 'Maximo Cupido' drips (releases excess moisture through hydathodes), it often means it's too moist. Ensure good drainage and always allow the top layer of soil to dry out. If necessary, use an airy growing substrate or add perlite from our potting soil and accessories collection.
Plagues
This peace lily can be affected by spider mites, mealybugs, or thrips. Small spots or webs on the leaves are often a sign. Remove pests manually with a damp cloth and, if necessary, use our sticky traps against fungus gnats . For persistent pests, you can apply a mild insecticide or neem oil.
Roots visible at the bottom
When roots grow out of the pot, it's time to repot. Choose a slightly larger pot from our selection of pots for houseplants . Also refresh the topsoil and check for a healthy, strong root system. Repotting is best done in spring so the plant can fully recover afterward.
Brown edges on leaves
Brown edges often occur due to low humidity or excessive watering. Spathiphyllum 'Maximo Cupido' prefers a humidity above 50%. Place a bowl of water nearby or regularly use a plant sprayer from our range, such as the plant sprayer . Avoid cold drafts and dry radiators in winter.
