General Information

Native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, Spathiphyllum species thrive in shaded, humid environments. The ‘Sweet Silvana’ cultivar has been bred for its improved flowering habit, glossy foliage, and compact size, making it a favourite for modern interiors.

• Habit: Compact, clump-forming evergreen perennial with upright, arching leaves.

• Height & spread: Typically grows 40–60cm tall and 35–45cm wide.

• Foliage: Broad, lance-shaped, deep-green leaves with a glossy finish.

• Flowers: Distinctive white spathes with a central cream spadix, lasting for several weeks.

• Flowering season: Spring through autumn, often flowering multiple times a year under good conditions.

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates shade but avoid harsh sunlight, which can scorch leaves.

• Soil: Moist but well-draining compost; ideal in a peat-free indoor potting mix.

• Temperature: Prefers 16–24°C; protect from cold draughts or temperatures below 12°C.

• Uses: Excellent for homes, offices, conservatories, or reception areas where soft greenery is desired.

The Peace Lily ‘Sweet Silvana’ is also one of the best air-cleaning plants, removing toxins such as formaldehyde, benzene, and carbon monoxide from the air — creating a fresher, healthier indoor environment.

Care Guide

Spathiphyllum ‘Sweet Silvana’ is a forgiving plant that thrives on simple care and regular attention.

Planting & Positioning

• When to plant: Year-round as an indoor plant.

• Containers: Use a decorative pot with drainage holes or a liner to prevent waterlogging.

• Placement: Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or offices with filtered light.

• Rotation: Turn the pot occasionally to encourage even growth.

Watering & Feeding

• Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy — water when the top of the compost feels dry to the touch.

• In summer, mist leaves occasionally to increase humidity.

• Use rainwater or filtered water if possible, as Peace Lilies can be sensitive to chemicals in tap water.

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted houseplant fertiliser to encourage flowering.

• Reduce watering and feeding in winter when growth slows.

Pruning & Maintenance

• Remove spent flowers and yellowing leaves by cutting them at the base.

• Wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to maintain their glossy appearance.

• Repot every 2–3 years in spring to refresh soil and encourage new growth.

• Propagate by dividing mature clumps when repotting.

Protection

• Avoid overwatering — root rot is the most common issue.

• Keep away from direct sunlight, cold draughts, and radiators.

• Generally pest-free, though may occasionally attract aphids or mealybugs, which can be removed with a soft cloth.

• Mildly toxic if ingested, so keep out of reach of pets and children.
