In the wild, Spathiphyllum grow alongside forest streams in swampy soil.
They do not like to go dry, ever. They will even grow for periods of time
partially submerged in water.

Spathiphyllum Wallisii. Also known as "peace lily" or "white sails."
From S.America, prefers peat-moss based soil, bright light but NO SUN,
60-70 degrees, likes to be misted, keep soil moist during growing
season but allow the soil to dry before watering. Top-dress or repot
in spring, feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer in spring through
summer. My spathiphyllum is 14 years old, in a 20" pot, a cycle of
white flowers and huge. There are several hybrid varieties.
