A classic indoor plant. Also called moonflower, due to its white, half-moon-shaped blooms. The 'Jessica' variety has heavily cream-variegated foliage. Its long, lanceolate leaves communicate its needs. Indeed, when the Spathiphyllum lacks water, its leaves quickly lose their tone. A plant that grows in the shade of trees in tropical rainforests. The Spathiphyllum is highly valued for its tolerance to low light. To promote its growth and inflorescence, it prefers high ambient humidity and bright, indirect light.
