Peace Lily

Spathiphyllum

Description

Handsome paddle-shaped leaves standing erect from short stems. Flower stalks have a white, erect bract behind the inflorescence spike.

Light

Expose to medium (bright indirect) light. Do not place in full sun. Tolerates low light, but normally needs brighter light to bloom.

Water

Keep the soil evenly moist at all times. If the soil dries out, the tips of the leaves turn brown. Mist often, the higher the humidity, the better.

Soil

A good general purpose potting soil will suffice. Check purchased soil to see that it is well aerated and add sand or perlite and peat moss if it seems to pack too tightly. Give the plants a chance to settle in before going back to whatever fertilization program has been successful for you.
