Spathiphyllum is a great indoor plant

Spathiphyllum produce showy white hood-shaped flowers above dark green foliage. This has allowed spathiphyllum to be used as both a flowering and foliage plant. Also known as "Peace Lily", spathiphyllum prefers moist soil, and humid air.

Spathiphyllum is one of the few foliage plants that will flower in low light. Peace lilies are sturdy plants with glossy, dark green oval leaves that narrow to a point. The leaves rise directly from the soil. The long-lasting flowers start out pale green and slowly turn creamy white as they open.
