Taxonomic history

The species was originally described by Frederik Michael Liebmann in a separate genus Hydnostachyon, which he described as having a concave (spoon-like) spathe Spatha foliacea persistens cochleariformis, from which he formed the species epithet cochlearispathum.[3] The species was moved to the genus Spathiphyllum by Heinrich Gustav Adolf Engler.[4]

Care Instructions

Water only once soil is dry and the plant begins to wilt, then saturate the soil. The peace lily likes light, but absolutely no direct sunlight, not even for short periods.
