Description

A reliable and versatile indoor plant for your collection. The Peace Lily is a favourite! Glossy dark green leaves and large white flower spathes last for weeks on this instantly recognisable variety.

The flowers of 'Sweet Silver' emerge in spring - tiny yellow bumps that are carried on a small floral spike and its actually the more noticeable, pure-white bracket spathe which is thought of as the flower.

Perfect for inside the home, the Peace Lily has been shown in NASA studies to clean and purify the air in your home - making the top 10 - filtering out pollutants and neutralising gasses such as carbon monoxide, benzene and formaldehyde. This makes it perfect for the bedroom, where it can help you get a better night's sleep!

Not only a beautiful houseguest, it is low maintenance and very easy to grow. Spathiphyllum will even tell you when it needs a drink by gently drooping its leaves - then once watered it'll pick up within the hour! Marvellous!

Supplied as an established plant in a 13cm pot, plants will eventually reach around 1m high and around 50cm wide. The pictured decorative pot in illustrative and is not supplied.

Top Tips

Your Peace Lily will thrive in partial shade and will tell you if the light is too bright by developing curled yellow leaves or scorched leaves - so you just need to move it out of bright or direct light.

Care Information

Naturally, Peace Lilies grow in light shade under larger trees so thrive in similar conditions - out of bright light and in fertile, humous rich soil.
Plants thrive in high humidity, so during the summer, water and mist the plant frequently and stand in a gravel tray. In winter, reduce watering but never allow the soil to dry out. When misting, use distilled water.
Plants dislike chemicals, so if your water is highly chlorinated or very chalky use filtered water.
Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 12C (55F).
Spritz the leaves every week with soft or distilled water throughout the summer growing season.
In summer use a multipurpose liquid feed, do not feed in winter.
