    I kind of adopted this plant 2 yrs. ago. In the fall it blooms 1-3 flowers a year. The flowers are a creamish, white color. The flower has one big petal (spoon shaped?) I repotted it 1 1/2yrs. ago. It had been watered way too much, the soil was mildewy. It has bulbs. This plant has seen better days.

    IF SOMEONE COULD PLEASE IDENTIFY THIS PLANT AND BRIEFLY TELL ME HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PLANT, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.


    THANKS! =)

    Looks like a peace lily to me. Likes to be kept moist but not wet or soggy. It will let you know when it needs water too. Wilts and looks really horrible but water it and it bounces right back in a matter of hours.

    Oh yeah, doesnt really need alot of light. Mine is in the shade, not even filtered light for more than 4-6 hours a day and is doing just fine.

    Thank you for identifying my plant. I've definately seen it droop a time or two. My biggest problem now is keeping my pet ferret from digging in it. He loves to dig in the cat litter, dirt, sand, and carpet. Anyway, THANKS AGAIN! =)
