Spathiphyllum 'Sweet Silvana'

Spathiphyllum 'Sweet Silvana' is a peace lily hybrid with dense basal growth, dark green glossy leaves and white to cream spathes. It forms a full, leafy clump with smooth foliage and softly cupped inflorescences above the crown.

The leaves grow directly from the base, forming a bushy evergreen plant with elliptic to narrow-ovate blades. Slightly wavy leaf margins and furrowed veins give the foliage a more textured surface.

Spathiphyllum 'Sweet Silvana' defining details

• Plant type: Cultivated Spathiphyllum hybrid cultivar in the Araceae family.
• Foliage: Dark green glossy leaves with visible veins and slightly wavy margins.
• Flowers: White to cream spathes with a central spadix.
• Growth habit: Dense basal clump with leaves rising directly from the crown.
• Texture: Furrowed veins and slightly wavy margins give the leaves a more defined surface.
• Light: Bright indirect light gives better flowering and tighter growth.
• Watering: Even moisture suits the dense root system better than extremes.

Spathiphyllum 'Sweet Silvana' leaf texture and spathes

Spathiphyllum 'Sweet Silvana' forms a dense clump with new petioles emerging from the base. Over time, the plant fills its pot with dark glossy foliage and a rounded, leafy crown.

The spathes open white to cream and sit above the leaves when conditions are steady. As with other peace lilies, the spathe is the showy bract around the spadix, where the true flowers are arranged.

Spathiphyllum 'Sweet Silvana' care points

• Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity keeps new leaves and leaf tips cleaner.
• Water: Water after the upper potting mix has dried, then drain away excess water.
• Light: Give bright filtered light; direct sun can scorch leaves and mark spathes.
• Temperature: Keep warm, ideally above 18 °C, with stable conditions around the crown.
• Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix that holds gentle moisture while draining freely.
• Repotting: Repot once the clump is rootbound; compact wet substrate around the crown raises rot risk.
• Feeding: Apply a diluted balanced fertiliser during active growth.
• Propagation: Divide established clumps, keeping several leaves and a rooted crown on each division.

Spathiphyllum 'Sweet Silvana' problem cues

• Drooping foliage: The dense clump can wilt quickly when the rootball dries too far.
• Brown tips: Dry indoor air, irregular watering or mineral-heavy water can mark the leaf ends.
• Soft crown growth: Cold wet substrate can damage roots and weaken new shoots.
• Greenish spathes: Spathes naturally change colour as they age and can be cut once spent.
• Reduced flowering: Deep shade usually gives fewer inflorescences.

Spathiphyllum 'Sweet Silvana' pet and child safety

Chewed Spathiphyllum 'Sweet Silvana' tissue can irritate the mouth and throat because the plant contains calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it away from pets and small children.
