A flowering perennial, Spathiphyllum are herbaceous plants with oblong leaves and showy, white spathes. Water spaths well from spring to autumn and more carefully in the winter. Keep plants away from direct sunlight. Spaths are tropical plants and prefer high humidty and warm temperatures. Feed when in active growth but not during winter. Spaths are hardy and very tolerant of low light situations, making them ideal interior plants for that darker corner or mass planting where a dramatic foliage affect is needed.
