description_en: Genus of 36 species of rhizomatous, evergreen perennials occurring in damp tropical forest in Indonesia, the Philippines, and tropical North, Central, and South America. They are cultivated for their stately, long-stemmed, white or cream-coloured spathes, set against dark green, lance-shaped, inversely lance-shaped, or oblong-ovate leaves with prominent midribs. In frost-prone climates, grow in a warm greenhouse or in a conservatory. In warmer regions, they are suitable for a humid, shady border. Some Spathiphyllum species can be grown as houseplants. All parts of the plants may cause mild stomach upset if ingested, and contact with the sap may irritate skin.
