Peace Lily

Spathiphyllum wallisii. The one houseplant that tells you what it needs — the leaves droop a day before it matters and lift again within hours of watering.

Care

• Light — low to bright indirect. Direct sun scorches the leaf edges
• Water — when the top of the compost feels dry, or when it droops
• Feed — monthly through the growing season for repeat flowering
• Watch for — brown leaf tips, which usually mean tap water, not underwatering

Supplied at 40–50 cm, in flower or bud, in an 8 inch pot.
