Spathiphyllum

Spathiphyllum (Peace Lily, White Sails) is a versatile and resilient plant, well-suited to indoor growing for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. It has broad, glossy, and lanceolate (sword-shaped) leaves. The leaves are dark green and grow between 12 to 20 inches long, with a prominent central vein and a subtle, wavy margin. It typically grows to a height of 1 to 4 feet, depending on the species and conditions. The “flowers” are actually spathes, which are modified leaves. The spathes are white or light green, surrounding the spadix—a spike of tiny flowers. The spadix can be creamy white, yellow, or greenish, and the spathe itself often turns green as it ages. The dark green foliage and striking white spathes provide a touch of elegance and tranquility, complementing various interior designs. It can bloom multiple times a year under the right conditions, providing continuous beauty. Spathiphyllum is known for its ability to remove toxins from the air, according to NASA’s Clean Air Study. It also helps increase humidity, which can be beneficial in dry environments.
