Spathiphyllum

Spathiphyllum is a genus of about 60 species of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to tropical regions of the Americas and southeastern Asia. Certain species of Spathiphyllum are commonly known as spath or peace lilies.

Peace lilies (Spathiphyllum species) are attractive indoor foliage plants that produce showy white flowers. They are not true lilies but a member of the Araceae family, which also includes caladiums, elephant ears, anthuriums, and callas. They are one of the few foliage plants that will flower in low light. Peace lilies are easy to grow, making them a popular choice for houseplants and one of the top selections of air-purifying indoor plants. Do be aware that calcium oxalate crystals are present in the plant cells and, if consumed, can cause toxicity in pets and children. The most common side effect is burning of the mouth, throat, and tongue.

According to the Chinese art of Feng Shui, the Peace Lily is a fantastic plant to add to your indoor jungle; they are believed to bring positive energy and an aura of calm to your home or workspace. So, add a Peace Lily to your décor for all the positive and calming vibes.

The Peace Lily is a wonderfully exotic, humidity-loving plant. This means it is an ideal plant for bathrooms and kitchens.
