Fun Fact: A Symbol of Peace and Prosperity

The Peace Lily is often associated with peace, prosperity, and tranquility. In many cultures, it symbolizes harmony and is commonly given as a gift to express good wishes. The plant's name reflects this sentiment, as "peace" is derived from the plant's serene appearance and its calming presence in homes and workplaces.

A Brief History of the Peace Lily

The Peace Lily has a fascinating history that traces back to its native regions. Originally from the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, particularly Colombia and Ecuador, Spathiphyllum was first introduced to Europe in the late 19th century. Its popularity grew rapidly due to its unique beauty and air-purifying qualities.

In 1971, the Peace Lily was recognized by NASA in its Clean Air Study as one of the top plants for improving indoor air quality. This study highlighted the plant's ability to filter common indoor pollutants, such as formaldehyde, benzene, and carbon monoxide. Since then, the Peace Lily has become a staple in homes and offices around the world, valued for both its aesthetic appeal and health benefits.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Shipping

    How do you ship your plants?

    We carefully package each plant with love by hand right from our shop in Brooklyn. Extra steps are taken to ensure that every leaf arrives in pristine shape by using polyfill and encapsulating the plant in a protective paper sleeve. The soil is also hydrated before shipping so that the plant has plenty of water for it's travel to your doorstep. We offer several shipping speeds, so please choose the one that you feel comfortable with depending on your location. 

    Will my plant look like the one on the website?

    Awesome question, we're glad you asked. Given the nature of our plant shop, we're constantly moving plants in and out of the shop, making it difficult and borderline impossible to keep an exact picture of each plant. In addition to the constantly rotating crop, we often grow in batches of 6, 12, or sometimes more! With this quantity we are unable to take a photo of each and every plant. The photos that we attach to each product listing is going to be of a plant that represents the average size and fullness of that set of plants. Some may be slightly larger or smaller, but in general, similar.

    Do you include heat packs with your plants?

    We offer Heat Packs for sale separately from the plants in 40, 60 and 72 hour increments. Please add a heat pack or two to your order if you live in an area where your order may be affected during transit by cold temperatures. We are not responsible for orders that are placed and damage is incurred to the plant if a heat pack is not purchased.

    Which heat pack should I choose?

    Heat packs come in three different increments, so please choose the appropriate hour increment depending on the speed of shipping that you choose during checkout. For example, if you choose a cheaper shipping option that will take longer, please select the 72 hour heat pack. If you've chosen a shorter method of shipping, the 40 or 60 hour increment would work! We like to encourage our customers to always get more than you need, just to be on the safe side!

    How long will it take to receive my order?

    Standard shipping normally takes 3-5 days. Next day shipping is available on all domestic orders (for an additional charge). International shipping times depend on the products and destination (estimated at checkout).
