Origin

The Spathiphyllum is also called the ‘spoon’ or ‘flag’ plant. It originally came from Colombia and Venezuela and belongs to the Aracaea family. In 1870 the Spathiphyllum was introduced in Europe. The upright white flowers are characteristic of this plant.

Flowers
Spathiphyllum flowers are always white, but vary in size and number depending on the type. The bigger the plant, the bigger the flowers. However, flower size is also dependent on the type of Spathiphyllum. Some Spathiphyllum plants have lightly scented flowers.

Types
The Spathiphyllum is available in many different types and sizes. All of the types are full, blooming plants with long life expectancies. Each type has its own unique qualities, such as the size of the flowers and the size or shape of the leaves. These attributes are then combined with the most suitable pot size.
