The dramatic peace lily is a well-recognized, stunning houseplant with its lavish beauty and simple requirements. Leaves depicted in deep green color and the lovely flowers of Spathiphyllum plants depict a touch of peace and a panache to any backdrop. But why is it so dramatic? In this article, we will find out the reasons that have qualified the dramatic peace lily to have such a title and how you can make use of the beauty of the dramatic peace lily in your house.
The dramatic peace lily derives its name mainly because of its lovey-dovey outline and some other reasons. For example, rather than the usual flowering houseplants, the peace lily catches the eye with plenty of erect, smooth, waxy leaves and beautiful long spadix blooms that resemble a sailing boat gallantly. It is this spadix bloom that makes it a focal plant in any space as it cuts the monotony of the deep green foliage.
But it’s all about the looks only. It’s also charming how the peace lily transforms itself: it constructs a „drama“ around all its needs… When it gets a little water, the leaves will droop to an extreme, as though one is dying of thirst. After getting water, the plant will instantly perk up. With this, one does not get bored when taking care of the plant as it becomes interesting trying to figure out how to meet the plant’s needs.
It is not only about how they look – dramatic peace lilies are really functional. Here is why it is perfect for any residence.
A peace lily is one houseplant that is impressive-looking and can help in the purification of the air. It absorbs harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, benzene, and carbon monoxide that are present in indoor air and helps to make the house fresh and healthy.
In spite of its dramatic characteristics, it appears that looking after a peace lily does not require much effort. Low light and moderate watering are all it needs to grow well. It is great for novice and experienced plant parents.
Also, the peace lily serves by increasing the humidity in the room, which is more useful, especially during hot temperatures. This does not only make the air rich in moisture content but also enhances the health of the lungs.
Even though the dramatic peace lily might be an easy plant, it does have some requirements that must be met for it to grow healthily. Here are a few that are essential:
Peace lilies do well in indirect sunlight. Do not expose them to the harsh rays of the sun, as this may damage the leaves. A position close to a window facing north or east will be best.
Water the plant when the top inch of soil has no moisture. The dramatic peace lily will also get wilty when thirsty, but there is no need for panic; it readily springs back after it is given some water. Just be sure to refrain from too much water, as soggy soil invites root rot.
Your peace lily should be within a temperature range of 65-85 degrees Fahrenheit or 18-30 degrees Celsius. It does not like cold wind, so do not place it near an opening window or door.
Care for your foliage by eliminating any leaves that have turned yellow or brown. Dust the leaves gently with a soft, damp cloth for extra shine.
The peace lily may be low maintenance, but several issues can sometimes arise with the plant. Here’s what to look out for:
If you notice your peace lily looks droopy, it is likely thirsty. Under normal circumstances, if the plant is still in damp soil, it might be experiencing overwatering.
Like many brown edges on leaf tips, dry air and over-fertilizing can be the reasons, so mist the plant and reduce the feeding.
Yellowing leaves most often mean too much watering or light. Relocate the plant from the light source to a very shaded area and after that modify the watering of the plant.
The dramatic peace lily is not just a plant; it works right away as an accessory for your home. More so, what it comes with is that graceful elegance which livens up things around the house whilst at the same time being easy to maintain for all plant lovers. This bush will become your home decoration because of its deodorizing and stunning dramatic beauty.
Getting the plants is very enjoyable because of the drama that comes with it and the peace lily thus becomes the focal point of the entire living space.
The Peace Lily, with its elegant white blooms and lush green leaves, purifies the air and symbolizes nature’s calming beauty.
