Peace Lily, an Easy Flowering Indoor Plant

Spathiphyllum Plant

Peace Lily A Great Flowering Houseplant

One of the most common houseplants, other than Pothos, is the Spathiphyllum. Also known as Peace Lily or White Flag, these plants are often given as gift plants. While it does not offer a lot in the way of color because the flower is white, it is still one of the few houseplants that will tolerate average indoor conditions and still produce flowers throughout the year. Bring home a Mum or Begonia and chances are, unless you have a sun room, skylight or atrium, the flowers won't last more than a week or two and still look good.

Peace Lily will flower for a good part of the year and when it is not in bloom you will have a lovely foliage plant to enhance your home.

If you have ever owned one of these plants, you know that if you let it dry completely, it will lay down on the floor in a full faint! While they do not need to be kept constantly wet, Spathiphyllums also do not like to be treated as a cactus, either! Read more about Peace Lily and their care...
