Spathiphyllum 'Platinum Mist'

Appearance: Peace Lilies typically have dark green, glossy leaves. The blooms are unique, consisting of a white or pale green spathe (which looks like a flower) and a spadix (the inner spike). 

Light Requirements: Peace Lilies prefer indirect, bright light. They can tolerate lower light conditions but might bloom less frequently.

Watering: They prefer consistently moist soil, but it's essential to avoid overwatering. The plant will often droop when it's thirsty, signaling that it's time to water.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. Ensure that the pot has drainage holes to avoid waterlogging the roots.

Temperature and Humidity: Peace Lilies prefer warmer temperatures and high humidity. They thrive in temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C).

Toxicity: All parts of the Peace Lily are toxic to dogs, cats, and humans when ingested. They contain calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause mouth irritation, drooling, and gastrointestinal upset.

Pest Issues: Keep an eye out for common pests such as spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Wipe leaves regularly to prevent dust accumulation and to deter pests.

Air-Purifying Qualities: Spathiphyllum is renowned for its air-purifying qualities. NASA's Clean Air Study identified it as a plant that can help remove indoor pollutants like benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene.

Browning Tips: If the tips of the leaves turn brown, it could be due to inconsistent watering, exposure to direct sunlight, or fluoride in tap water.
