Stylish and classic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll recognize the Spathiphyllum immediately by its deep green, glossy leaves and the striking white flowers that stand out. Or rather, flowers? Actually, they\u2019re bracts! But they\u2019re commonly referred to as flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those white flowers resemble spoons, hence the nickname \u201cSpoon Plant.\u201d This graceful plant fits into both modern and classic interiors and provides a fresh and serene look all year round. In October, when nature outside is becoming increasingly barren, the Spathiphyllum brings some atmosphere and health indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Spathiphyllum is native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America and parts of Southeast Asia. In the wild, it grows on the shady forest floor, beneath the dense canopy of tall trees. Thanks to this natural environment, the plant is accustomed to high humidity, filtered light, and a constant temperature. It is precisely this background that explains why the Spathiphyllum thrives so well in our living rooms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What makes the Spathiphyllum truly special is its proven air-purifying ability. Research conducted by NASA as early as the 1980s demonstrated that this plant effectively filters harmful substances such as benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene from the air. Since then, countless other studies have confirmed this finding. All plants at Air So Pure have been extensively tested by an independent research agency. Are you buying a Spathiphyllum from Air So Pure? Then you can be sure that it\u2019s extra effective at purifying the air!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While you enjoy a cup of tea on the couch, the Spathiphyllum quietly works to improve the air quality in your home. Do you spend a lot of time at the office or in the classroom? The Spathiphyllum is a great houseplant for those situations, too. Having air-purifying plants around offers various health benefits. For example, they can alleviate health complaints and improve concentration and creativity! That makes the Spathiphyllum ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and workspaces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Give it a drink, and it will perk right back up within a few hours. Place it in a bright spot, but avoid direct, harsh sunlight. It also tolerates a bit of shade quite well, making it suitable for virtually any interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Spathiphyllum, or Air So Pure Plant of the Month December, is a very simple plant, and with proper care, you can enjoy it for months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have pets or children, it\u2019s naturally good to know whether a plant is toxic or not. The Spathiphyllum is beautiful and hardy, but can be toxic to pets and people if ingested. The leaves and flowers contain certain substances that can cause irritation of the mouth, throat, and stomach. So keep the plant out of reach of pets, and you can still enjoy this beautiful plant every day!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Why is the Spathiphyllum, also known as the Peace Lily, the Air-Purifying Plant of the Month for October?
