About :
Spathiphyllum is a genus of about 40 species of flowering plants commonly called 'Peace Lily'. 'Peace Lily' is a herbaceous perennial typically grown as a houseplant. While it can grow up to 6 ft tall, it more typically grows to 3 ft in an indoor setting. It is popular as a specimen or accent in interior groupings for its deep-green glossy foliage and white blooms that are intermittent in medium lighting and long-lasting. The plant has no specific bloom time, but flowers freely and tolerates heavy shade.
The 'Peace Lily' does best indoors in moist, but not soggy, soil. You should allow the soil to dry between waterings, but not wilt, which causes the leaves to yellow. Use water that is at room temperature and has been allowed to sit so that the chlorine can evaporate. Spathiphyllum grow very well with sub-irrigation and also do well in lower light situations, but prefer bright filtered light. Do not place the plant in direct sun. Fertilize Spathiphyllum at one-quarter of the recommended strength. Over-fertilizing can produce burning of tips and roots. 'Peace lilies' enjoy warm conditions between 68 and 85F during the day and no more than a 10-degree drop at night. The plant requires a large pot and should be kept somewhat pot bound. Re-pot, if necessary in February or March.
