Spathiphyllum 'Sweet Lauretta' foliage and flowering

Spathiphyllum 'Sweet Lauretta' develops its size through a dense root system and long petioles rising from the base. The leaves are narrow elliptic to narrow ovate, glossy and dark green, giving the clump a tall indoor profile as it matures.

The inflorescences sit above the foliage on long peduncles. Each white cupped spathe surrounds a central spadix, where the true flowers are arranged.

Spathiphyllum 'Sweet Lauretta' care details

• Light: Place in bright indirect light; direct sun can scorch glossy leaves and mark the spathes.
• Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity keeps large leaves smoother and reduces dry edges.
• Water: Water when the upper part of the mix has dried, then let excess water drain away.
• Substrate: Use an airy, moisture-retentive mix with fine bark, coco fibre, perlite and a small amount of composted material.
• Temperature: Keep warm and stable, ideally above 18 °C, with protection from cold draughts.
• Repotting: Repot one size up when the rootball is tight; a large wet pot can slow roots and trigger rot.
• Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth, especially when the plant is producing new leaves and spathes.
• Propagation: Propagate by division of established clumps during repotting.

Spathiphyllum 'Sweet Lauretta' issue checks

• Drooping leaves: Large leaves collapse quickly when the rootball dries too far.
• Brown edges: Dry air, irregular watering or direct sun can mark the leaf margins.
• Yellowing leaves: A wet, cool root zone can damage roots and lower foliage.
• Few spathes: Low light usually gives leafy growth with fewer inflorescences.
• Aging flowers: White spathes naturally fade through greenish and brown tones before removal.
