Peace Lily

Spathiphyllum spp.

Toxic to pets
Peace Lily
Light
medium to low indirect. One of the genuinely reliable low-light plants, though it flowers more in brighter spots
Water
keep lightly moist. It faints theatrically when thirsty and stands back up within an hour of watering. Dramatic, but harmless once or twice. Brown leaf tips usually mean tap water minerals
Toxicity
toxic to dogs and cats (ASPCA): insoluble calcium oxalates cause oral irritation, intense burning and irritation of the mouth, tongue and lips, excessive drooling, vomiting and difficulty swallowing. Also poisonous to people if eaten in quantity (NC State Extension, medium severity)

Toxicity confirmed against ASPCA Animal Poison Control; NC State Extension Plant Toolbox.
