jowben1 Port Saint Lucie, FL (Zone 9a) November 16, 2009 12:28 AM	I got this as a gift today. Any help with ID, and or culture would be appreciated. As far as I know, it was kept indoors in a nursing home. The plant is about 24" high, and 24" to 30" in diameter. Attached is a photo of a leaf, and a dead flower. Thans, for any help. View Larger

plantladylin (Zone 9b) November 16, 2009 02:55 AM	There are 15 Spathiphyllum listed in Plant Files: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/b/Araceae/Spathiphyllum/non... I used to have a few of the Petite Spath's, only one I have now is the one called Domino. I've had it for a long time and it took a hit with the cold weather we had last winter. It stays out on my deck year round and gets covered with a blanket if the temp's are predicted to drop.
