Hi all, Can anyone help me identify this very-unhappy-looking plant so I can work out how to make it happy again! http://a965.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/105/l_60bbb7b458f73e54e9dc7568764a6594.jpg I thought it might be an Aspidistra, but on all the pictures of Aspidistra's I've seen, the veins have been parallel with the leaf's axis, not pinnate like my plant. Thanks!
Ah-ha. That looks like the one - thanks! Mine's never flowered though. Is there a species that doesn't flower, or has mine just never been well enough?!
Spathiphyllum's like their soil on the moist side at all times, not wet and never dried out. Give it bright indirect light (no direct sun) and low doses of fertilizer in the spring and summer months and you might get some flowers.
Nope it doesn't, and I suspect overwatering might be the problem. Thankfully, now I know what kind of plant it is, I know how to look after it properly so I'll repot it into a pot with drainage holes and we'll see if we can get some flowers out of it! Thanks
Good thinking on the drainage holes alt... Spathiphyllum's are aroid, you might want to have a look at the new aroid forum we have on here, and look at the different sort of aroids around. It is in trial forums Good luck Ed
