Spathiphyllum Pearl Cupido - Peace Lily
Spathiphyllum, commonly known as peace lily, is a tropical evergreen plant in the Araceae family. It is native to tropical Central and South America. Peace lilies are prized for their attractive white flowers and glossy green leaves. They are also known for their air-purifying abilities.
Peace lilies are relatively easy to care for. They prefer medium to low light and moist, well-draining soil. Water your peace lily when the top inch of soil is dry. Fertilize your peace lily once a month during the spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer.
Peace lilies are susceptible to a few pests and diseases, including spider mites, mealybugs, and root rot. If you notice any problems with your peace lily, it is important to treat them promptly.
Here are some additional care instructions for peace lilies:
- Keep your peace lily away from direct sunlight.
- Mist your peace lily regularly to increase humidity.
- Repot your peace lily every two to three years in a pot that is one size larger.
- Peace lilies are toxic to cats and dogs. If you have pets, it is important to keep your peace lily out of their reach.
- If your peace lily is dropping leaves, it may be getting too much or too little light. Try moving it to a spot with brighter or dimmer light.
- If your peace lily's leaves are turning yellow, it may be getting too much water. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
- If your peace lily's leaves are curling, it may be getting too little humidity. Mist your plant regularly or place it in a room with a humidifier.
With a little care, your peace lily will be a beautiful addition to your home for many years to come.
