Common names: peace
lily, spathiphyllum
Description: Dark green leaves can be more than
a foot long. Plants are uniform and full. They produce
hood-shaped white blooms, or spathes, which surround a
creamy-white spadix. Plants grow 1 1/2 to 4 feet tall,
depending on the cultivar. Some cultivars are developed
to be compact.
Special care: Keep soil moist because plants wilt
easily. Provide good drainage and empty excess water from
saucers and sleeves. Wash individual leaves. Provide bright,
indirect light and temperatures of 65 to 90F/18 to 32
C. Low light slows the blooming cycle. However, too much
direct sunlight may cause burn spots on leaves.
