The habits of red palm and Spathiphyllum are almost the same, and the maintenance difficulty is almost the same. But red palm has better drought resistance and Spathiphyllum has better cold resistance. On the whole, there is not much difference between them. The soil needs to be fertile, loose and well drained. All the light needs to be scattered.

1. Which one is better to raise?

In fact, they have similar origin and habits. If we want to say the difference, one is drought resistance, the other is cold resistance. For Anthurium andraeanum, its drought resistance is better. For Spathiphyllum, its cold resistance is better. However, in general, their maintenance methods are almost the same, and the difficulty is almost the same

2. Maintenance method

(1) soil: both require fertile, loose soil with good drainage and air permeability. Specifically, we can use peat soil, rotten leaf soil, perlite and sand to make up, according to the ratio of 2:1:1.

(2) light intensity: both of them should be placed in the place with astigmatism, and their growth cannot be separated from certain light. However, the light should not be too strong, or their leaves will wither.

(3) watering: spring, summer and autumn are its growing seasons, which need more water, so the soil should be kept moist. By the end of autumn, when the temperature drops to 18 degrees, the amount of watering needs to be reduced.

(4) fertilization: in the growing season, sufficient fertilizer should be ensured. About every three days. In winter, fertilizer will not be used. However, if the temperature can be more than 20 degrees, you can continue to fertilize

(5) temperature: the most suitable temperature is 18-28 ℃. Winter should be properly cold.
