Dry air & not enough water.
In nature, Spathiphyllum are found growing along the banks of streams and often grow partially submerged at certain times of the year. They do best growing in moist soil and with a high humidity. That's something difficult to do indoors because the optimum conditions for growing the plants well are very uncomfortable to humans. Grow the plants with the pot in a saucer, water frequently, check to be sure the soil is moist. Place the plant, pot and saucer in a wide tray with gravel and keep the gravel moist to provide a high humidity. Also, mist the leaves as often as you can. "Michael M. Cohen" wrote in message ...

Spaths do like to be kept moist, but they don't care for salty water.
Tip burn is often caused by salt accumulation in the potting soil. If your tap water is high in salts, you might have to switch to deionized, distilled, reverse osmosis, or rainwater. Always water until water runs freely from the drain holes--leach out any salts that might be building up. M. Reed "Michael M. Cohen" wrote: I have a spathiphyllum sonya houseplant.
