Peace Lilly - Spathiphyllum - 50cm

Pot Size - 12cm

Peace Lily, scientifically known as Spathiphyllum, is a popular houseplant celebrated for its lush green foliage and elegant white flowers. Known for its ability to thrive in low light and its air-purifying qualities, the Peace Lily is an excellent choice for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts.

Foliage: The Peace Lily features glossy, dark green leaves that are broad and lance-shaped, creating a stunning backdrop for its striking white flowers. The flowers consist of a hood-like spathe that surrounds a spadix, giving it a unique appearance.

Size: This plant typically grows between 1-4 feet tall, depending on the variety and growing conditions, making it suitable for various spaces, from tabletops to floor displays.

Light: Peace Lilies prefer bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. While they can survive in shadier spots, their flowering may be reduced. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Peace Lilies prefer to be kept evenly moist but not soggy. Yellowing leaves may indicate overwatering, while drooping leaves may signal the need for water.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture. A standard houseplant soil works well, or you can mix in perlite or orchid bark for improved drainage.

Humidity: Peace Lilies thrive in higher humidity levels, making them ideal for bathrooms or kitchens. Regular misting or placing the pot on a tray of water and pebbles can help maintain humidity.

Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect the plant from cold drafts and temperatures below 45°F (7°C).

Aesthetic Appeal: The Peace Lily’s striking white blooms and lush green leaves create a beautiful contrast, making it a stunning addition to any indoor setting. It’s often used as a centerpiece or accent plant in homes and offices.

Air Purifying: Recognized for its air-purifying qualities, the Peace Lily helps to remove toxins from the air, including formaldehyde and benzene, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.
