Hi Claire, I have seen abnormal blooms on Spathi`s but generally in
commercially grown (and sprayed?) hybrids. Have you had them for a long
time, and they have never done tis before??? Are they store-bought or wild
collected species??
The hybrids sometimes produce double spathes, no spathes, double or forked
spadices, all kinds of deformities. I don`t know if it`s the breeding, OR
the sprays to make them all bloom together, or fungicides or what it may be.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Julius
ju-bo@msn.com>Hello,
Recently we found some abnormal Spathiphyllum flowers in our greenhouse.
Some are smaller then usually; others have a normal size, but lack a
spathe and instead there is a little of white amorph tissue. The same
plant has normal and abnormal flowers. The only thing that we changed
during culture, is fumigation with Bladafume against thrips.
Does someone have a hypothesis for these abnormal flowers?
Thank you,
