The Peace Lily typically grows to a height of 1 to 4 feet, depending on the variety and growing conditions. Its glossy, lance-shaped leaves can reach up to 10 inches in length, providing a vibrant backdrop to the plant’s signature white blooms. The “flowers” of the Peace Lily are actually spathes—a type of modified leaf that wraps around a central spadix, which is covered in tiny flowers. The spathes start out green and gradually turn white as they mature, lasting for several weeks before fading.
One of the most remarkable features of the Peace Lily is its ability to purify indoor air. According to NASA’s Clean Air Study, the Peace Lily is highly effective at removing common household toxins such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene from the air. This makes it an excellent choice for improving indoor air quality in homes and offices.
Peace Lilies thrive in medium to low light conditions, making them ideal for indoor environments with indirect sunlight. While they can tolerate low light, they may not bloom as frequently or as abundantly in such conditions. For best results, place your Peace Lily in a spot where it can receive bright, indirect light, such as near a north or east-facing window.
