Peace Lily
The peace lily is an easy-care houseplant . Not a true lily , its white flowers bear a close resemblance to the calla lily and is where the plant gets its name . A tropical perennial plant , peace lilies are recognizable also by their rich , dark-green leaves . Like many houseplants , peace lilies can survive just fine in low to medium light conditions but bloom more when in a sunnier position . Indoor peace lilies grow up to around 16 inches , much smaller than outdoor types that can reach up to six feet . Peace lilies that can be grown in a hydroponic system are adapted varieties that have smaller roots . In a hydroponic system , the ideal temperature range for your peace lilies to achieve optimal growth is 68-80 ° F , and the perfect pH is 5.6-6.5 . Keep them in a warm , draft-free environment and clean leaves regularly to avoid pests such as aphids .

Houseplants can also improve your indoor environment by cleaning the air , removing toxins , producing oxygen , and increasing humidity .”
