The Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) is a popular indoor houseplant known for its glossy green leaves and white “flower” spathes.
🌿 Basic care
- Light: Prefers low to medium indirect light (avoid direct sun)
- Water: Keep soil lightly moist; drooping leaves usually mean it needs water
- Humidity: Likes higher humidity but adapts to normal indoor air
- Temperature: Best between 18–27°C
🌸 Why people like it
- Blooms white flowers indoors even in low light
- Helps improve indoor air appearance (often cited in air-quality discussions)
- Low-maintenance compared to many flowering plants
⚠️ Important caution
Peace lilies are toxic if eaten (they contain calcium oxalate crystals). If chewed or ingested by pets or children, they can cause:
- Mouth irritation
- Drooling
- Swelling or vomiting
So it’s best kept out of reach of cats, dogs, and small children.
💡 Common issue
- Drooping leaves: usually just thirst, not always a sign the plant is dying—often it perks up quickly after watering.
If you want, tell me whether yours is drooping, not flowering, or getting yellow leaves—I can help diagnose it.
