well i found out it is a peace lilly .. now i need to learn how to take good care of it should it be outside or is it ok inside ?
It's best indoors in a mostly shaded spot. They don't like direct sun or hot/dry spots. Evenly moist is best and when they dry out too much they'll droop. Great plant though. Take a look through the different entries for Peace Lily in PlantFiles and there's member feedback towards the bottom of each entry: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/adv_search.php?searcher[common]=&searcher[family]=&searcher[genus]=spathyphyllum&searcher[species]=&searcher[cultivar]=&searcher[hybridizer]=&searcher[grex]=&search_prefs[blank_cultivar]=&search_prefs[sort_by]=rating&images_prefs=both&Search=Search&searcher[genus]=Spathiphyllum
Yep, it's a Peace Lily. growin is spot on on the care. I've also noticed mine do tons better if there's good ventilation.
Bigger specimens tend to end up by the walls in a room, then the next thing you know they're between or under the edge of something. Keep it out in the open enough for it to get some ventilation and it'll do a lot better.
They drink a lot of water. The leaves on yours look a bit sunburned.....need to be kept in the shade.
Keep it moist at all times, never let it dry out (it'll wilt!) and give it bright, indirect Sun. Feed it every watering with 1/4 strength mix of orchid food.
