Scientifically known as Spathiphyllum (Spa-thi-phy-llum)

Peace lily, is an adaptable and low-maintenance houseplant.

Peace lilies are not true lilies at all, but rather a member of the Araceae family.

The showy part of the flower features a white, hoodlike sheath (known as a spathe) which resembles a white flag of surrender.

There are a wide variety of sizes and types of peace lilies. Most serve as floor plants since they can reach three feet tall and grow wide with big, bold leaves.

It features bronze-green foliage with an abundance of large, cupped spathes.

This tropical shade-loving plant helps cleanse the air we breathe. While we all appreciate cleaner, oxygenated air, it’s also the easy peace lily care, resiliency and forgiving nature that makes them such popular houseplants.
