Care Notes from the Greenhouse
- Light: Spathiphyllum 'Platinum Mist' adapts from low to bright, indirect light — brighter light gives fuller growth. Avoid intense, direct sun.
- Watering: Keep the soil lightly and evenly moist — Spathiphyllum 'Platinum Mist' likes steady moisture and can wilt or crisp if it dries out fully. Don't let it sit in water, and ease off in winter.
- Humidity: Average household humidity is fine; it appreciates a little extra but doesn't need it.
- Temperature: Typical room temperatures (about 65–80°F). Keep it away from cold drafts and hot, dry vents.
- Soil: A good, well-draining potting mix in a pot with a drainage hole.
- Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a balanced houseplant fertilizer in spring and summer; pause in winter.
- Good to know: It wilts dramatically when thirsty and recovers within hours of watering — a handy signal, but try not to let it fully dry.
- Care tip: Give it the right light and consistent watering, and Spathiphyllum 'Platinum Mist' stays full and healthy.

From Our Greenhouse to Your Home
Florida Plant ships across the continental U.S. Your plant ships from Florida and California, USA, carefully packed in its nursery pot with soil unless noted. Orders dispatch within 1–4 business days, early in the week so plants don't sit over a weekend in transit.
During cold weather, orders to colder areas are sent with a heat pack, and we may hold delivery to very cold areas until it's safe to ship. Every plant is backed by our 48-hour live-arrival guarantee — contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos if there's an issue.
Because this is a live plant, each one is unique — size, fullness, color, and shape vary naturally, and minor cosmetic imperfections can happen. Give your plant a little time to settle in after it arrives.
