If it gets too wet, the leaves will turn brown.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to care for a shoveler<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The right place<br><\/strong>This plant needs diffused light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves. In the shade, growth and flowering will slow down. Place it on a window facing north or east.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Watering<br><\/strong>Lopatkovec likes moist soil, but it is important to avoid overwatering. Water the plant only when the top 2-3 cm of the substrate is dry. Use filtered, settled water at room temperature.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Substrate<br><\/strong>We use a universal substrate for houseplants together with perlite or sand to make the soil sufficiently airy. This plant does not like compacted soil. We repot in the spring once every 2-3 years and use a pot that is one size larger.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Temperature and humidity<br><\/strong>It is important to avoid temperature fluctuations. The ideal range is 18-27 degrees. The spathe dislikes drafts and sudden cooling. This plant likes a humid environment. We can use a humidifier or mist the leaves.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Banana peels<br><\/strong>are a simple homemade fertilizer that promotes abundant flowering and healthy roots. We can cut them into small pieces and work them into the top layer of the substrate. We use them only once a month.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Coffee grounds<br><\/strong>Used coffee grounds are a great supplement for the spathe, due to their nitrogen content. After brewing the coffee, let it dry and then mix a small amount into the top layer of the substrate. Use once every 4-6 weeks.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Boiled egg water\u00a0<\/strong><br>It is rich in calcium and magnesium and therefore strengthens the overall vitality of the plant. After boiling the eggs, let it cool. The water must not be salted. We use it for regular watering once a month. We can mix it with rainwater or filtered water.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Share your tips on how to care for a spathe plant with your friends!
