    I bought this tonight, half price but it didnt have a lable, only a sticker on the pot with its name on.It looks very similar to a peace lilly i have in my loo and that doesnt need much care.Im hoping i can treat this one much the same,only its to go in the kitchen.Will it be ok in there?

    Elainefiz, it is a fairly new cultivar and is possibly a cross between two tissue culture varieties. They are ideal for darkish corners of the house as they prefer to be out of the sun but will tolerate light conditions. The flower on this one may be more pointed than the usual rounder type. Just don't let the compost get too sodden. Extremes of watering (as seen in GC's) could have caused the yellowing on the ends of the leaves. [​IMG]
