Spathiphyllum ‘Ghost’ is a rare compact version of the common peace lily, known for its light silvery foliage that sets it apart from the typical deep green varieties. Its leaves are lance-shaped with a subtle metallic sheen, emerging in a dense rosette from the base.

Native to: Spathiphyllum is native to tropical regions of Central and South America, particularly Colombia and Venezuela. The ‘Ghost’ cultivar is a horticultural cultivar for indoor conditions and does not occur in the wild. It retains the genus’s clumping growth habit, with leaves arising directly from the base.

Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top third of the potting mix to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid letting the plant sit in water, as this can cause root rot.

Light: Prefers bright filtered light. Too much direct sun can bleach or scorch the leaves, while low light will reduce flowering and can darken the silvery tones of the foliage.

Humidity: Enjoys humidity levels between 6080%. It benefits from regular misting or placement near a humidifier.

Temperature: Thrives in indoor temperatures of 1827C. Avoid exposure to temperatures below 12C or cold drafts, which can stress the plant.
