Peace Lily - Spathiphyllum Wallisii - Spathe Flower - White Sails Plant

The Peace Lily Plant, scientifically known as Spathiphyllum Wallisii, is an evergreen perennial plant that originates from tropical America. It's commonly referred to by alternative names such as White Sails, Mauna Loa Peace Lily, Spathe Flower, or Cobra Plant. This indoor plant is favoured for its low-maintenance characteristics and the beautiful white blooms it produces, resembling flags of peace - hence the name, Peace Lily. In Australia, the Peace Lily is popular for improving indoor air quality, often kept in homes and offices. This plant thrives well in a warm, humid environment with low light, making it ideal for indoor planting in Australia's variable climate. Peace Lily care guide includes: 1. Light: Peace lilies prefer medium to low light. Indirect sunlight is optimal. Too much light can cause yellowing of the leaves. 2. Water: The plant likes slightly moist soil but doesn't respond well to overwatering or waterlogging which can lead to root rot. 3. Soil: It requires a well-draining potting mix with a high proportion of organic material. 4. Fertilizer: The Peace Lily needs a balanced (20-20-20) liquid fertilizer once every month in the growing season. 5. Pruning: It's advised to prune yellow leaves or spent flowers to promote healthier growth. 6. Repotting: Every year or two, repot the plant into a larger container with fresh soil. Remember that the Peace Lily plant can be toxic to dogs and cats if ingested. It should be kept out of reach of pets. This is an important factor to consider while deciding on the location of your Peace Lily in your home.
