Peace Lily - Spathiphyllum wallisii
The characteristic white bloom of the Peace Lily is said to be how it received its common name, representing the white flags of a ceasefire. This is recognised as one of the best plants for improving air quality, known to help remove nasty toxins from the air. The flowers of a Peace Lily are in fact specially adapted leaves called a bract. It is native to South America and from the same family as a Flamingo Flower.
An ideal plant for anyone new to plant parenting, this plant makes the perfect gift in its stylish ceramic ribbed pot. Water your plant regularly, when its soil feels dry but reduce your watering schedule in the colder winter months - the Peace Lily is far more tolerant of underwatering, than overwatering!
