A long-time favorite of those with a green-thumb and even those without, Spathiphyllum. This commonly known as the Peace lily plant, is an adaptable and low-maintenance houseplant. Peace lilies are not true lilies (Lilium spp.) at all, but rather a member of the Araceae family. Its flowers resemble those of the calla lily (both plants belong to the same family) and is the reason for its name. The showy part of the flower features a white, hoodlike sheath (known as a spathe) which resembles a white flag of surrender.
Light: Peace lilies prefer light partial shade, and can tolerate fluorescent lights. In fact, some have been known to thrive in rooms with no windows at all. Yellowing leaves indicate that the light is too strong, and brown leaves or streaks indicate scorching from direct sunlight. Consider placing the plant six to eight feet away from a north- or west-facing window.
Water: If you’re wondering how often to water a peace lily, one tip is to wait for the plant to droop slightly before watering. One of the great advantages in caring for the peace lily is the fact that it sags a bit when it needs water, essentially telling you when it’s thirsty. In general, water at least once a week and keep the soil moist.
Soil : As long as the soil holds moisture while draining well enough to support your plant, nearly any soil designed for houseplants will work for peace lilies. To make your own potting soil, the University of North Dakota Extension Service recommends mixing one part loam with one part peat moss and one part sand.
Dhivya Reddy –
Great place to buy plants. I bought three plants and the package was very neat and there was no damage and nice quality. The leaves were fresh and it wasn’t crumbled or dry when I received them. They have a variety of collections at a reasonable price, which I strongly recommend.
