The peace lily, or spathiphyllum, is commonly given as a gift because it's a beautiful, flowering plant that is also easy to care for. Its leaves are dark green and can grow to as large as one foot long. It comes in more than 35 varieties, with 30 of them native to Central and South America. Other species can be found as widely spread around the globe as Malaysia, Costa Rica, and the Philippines. It does best in darkly shaded, humid tropical rainforests. The flowers of the peace lily are perhaps its most easily recognizable feature. They resemble tiny white hoods (called spathes) as from a jacket surrounding a little, creamy-colored, elongated head (called a spadix). Peace lilies can grow to be quite large, from 1.5 to 4 feet in height. As long as you keep the soil moist-but not too wet, peace lilies are fairly easy to care for. They should be placed in areas with bright, indirect light with temperatures of 65 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Though the plant can survive in lower light, it won't bloom as frequently or copiously as it can in brighter lighting. The two major pitfalls for the peace lily are too much water and too much sun. Although the peace lily does require a good deal of water, proper drainage is important to keep the plant from becoming waterlogged. Fortunately, the peace lily is very good at telling its owners when it's in need of water. Watch for the plant to droop slightly, then water it-you'll see it quickly return to its formerly perky state. However, if your plant sits in a very bright or warm area, it may droop late in the day even if the soil is still damp. If you notice frequent drooping, be sure to check the soil before watering. You may wish to move the plant to a more suitable area. If Clay Aiken is in the market to purchase a peace lily for someone he cares about, it's a good idea to visit a florist to do so. Florists can help their customers choose healthy plants of good quality and provide care tips to keep them beautiful and green for a long time to come. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Wesley Berry is member of the American Academy of Floriculture (AAF) and President of Wesley Berry Flowers (http://www.wesleyberryflowers.com), a successful multi-million dollar floral business that was established in 1946.
