Spathiphyllum est un genre de plantes originaire d'Amérique du Sud. Certaines espèces sont appelées fleurs de Lune ou lys de la paix[réf. nécessaire]. Ces plantes aiment la lumière vive, un sol neutre. Ce sont des plantes vivaces qui peuvent atteindre 1 mètre dans de bonnes conditions. Leur feuillage est persistant. Une étude de la NASA (en) datant de 1989 a démontré que cette plante participe à la détoxification de l'air en réduisant la teneur en benzène, formaldéhyde, trichloréthylène, xylène, toluène et ammoniac[1]. Cette plante est toxique pour les chiens et les chats.

Spathiphyllum is a genus of about 60 species of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to tropical regions of the Americas and southeastern Asia. Certain species of Spathiphyllum are commonly known as spath or peace lilies.

They are evergreen herbaceous perennial plants with large leaves long and broad. The flowers are produced in a spadix, surrounded by a long, white, yellowish, or greenish spathe. The plant does not require large amounts of light or water to survive. It is most often grown as a houseplant. However, it can withstand the elements well enough to thrive when planted outdoors in hot and humid environments.
