Cool Facts
Native tropical plants. Spathiphyllum comes from tropical rainforests in Central and South America and southeastern Asia, where it grows on the forest floor in warm, humid conditions.
Beautiful white flowers. Peace lilies have stunning white flowers that look like a leaf wrapped around a yellow center, and they bloom throughout the year when cared for properly.
Natural air cleaners. These plants are famous for removing harmful toxins from indoor air, making them excellent companions for bedrooms and living rooms where people spend lots of time.
Love moisture. Peace lilies actually droop when thirsty, which is their clever way of telling you they need water, so they're great beginner plants that communicate their needs clearly.
59 different species. The genus Spathiphyllum includes 59 different species, though only a few are commonly grown as houseplants.
