Spathiphyllum 'Romano'

Common Name:
Peace Lily 'Romano'

Description:
Spathiphyllum 'Romano', commonly known as Peace Lily 'Romano', is a refined and compact cultivar of the well-loved Peace Lily, treasured for its deep green foliage and elegant, long-lasting white blooms. This variety features lush, lance-shaped leaves and a neat growth habit, making it particularly suitable for tabletops, desks, and decorative pots in Melbourne interiors. 'Romano' produces pure white, sail-like spathes that rise gracefully above the foliage, each surrounding a cream to yellow spadix. These flowers typically appear from spring to autumn but may occur year-round in stable indoor conditions. Thriving in bright, indirect light and able to tolerate lower light levels, the Peace Lily 'Romano' prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil and benefits from high humidity. It’s known for its air-purifying qualities and is a popular choice for modern indoor spaces due to its combination of minimal care requirements and year-round visual appeal.
