The Peace Lily, also known as Spathiphyllum, is a popular houseplant characterized by its distinctive white flower-like structure, called a spathe, surrounding a central spike (spadix), as shown in the photo above. Its leaves are glossy and dark green.
This houseplant is widespread in Central America and the northern part of the South American continent. Two species are found in the Pacific islands: one on Cocos Island (S. laeve) and one in Indonesia and the Philippines (S. commutatum).

• Growth and Size: Peace lilies have a moderate growth rate and can reach up to 1 meter (3 feet) in height.
• Care: This plant is relatively easy to grow and thrives in indirect light, and is suitable for shade and indoors. The soil should be kept moist; it can tolerate wet soil. Rehydrate after the top third soil dries out.
• Flowers: They can bloom twice a year. If conditions are right, they can flower year-round, and the flowers can last for several weeks. They can flower indoor or in shade.
• Air Purification: Peace lilies are known for their air-purifying properties, making them ideal for reducing indoor pollution.
• Toxicity: They can cause gastrointestinal upset if ingested, so it's important to keep them away from pets and children who might chew on them.
