Spathiphyllums are very popular house plants. They are easy to care for, and their blossoms last a long time.
Culture:
Spathiphyllums do better with an acid media. Fertilize frequently. Many cultivars are sensitive to lack of magnesium which make the leaf edges turn yellow. Iron deficiency can be caused by a soil that is not acid enough, or too cold.
