My Mystery Plant


This is my mystery plant that Chris brought to me. Turns out that it is called a Peace Lily. Spathiphyllum Annette is the proper name. Whatever that means. :)

It has dark shiny leaves and it doesn't like intense light, which is good since it has been cloudy around here lately. I think it is a very pretty plant and I have been trying to be a good mommy to my plant. It likes even watering and diffused light. 

I don't liked the wicker basket it came in and I wanted to find out if it needed the breathable basket or if a pretty ceramic pot would be fine. Turns out that the ugly basket can go and a pretty pot can replace it! Yay. This is the kind of pot I am thinking of. 

This one is from Crate&Barrel, which maybe is out of my price range but i think I could get something similar. It has to match the pink walls outside on my porch though so red is out of the question. I know the plant is mostly and indoor plant but occasionally I'd like to sit it outside on the porch. There was a little snail on it tonight so I think that it could make friends on the porch. :)
