Why is my spath fat & wide instead of tall & full?
October 26, 2007 by
Ask the Expert: Why is my spath growing out? My spath is located 13 feet from my southeast window receiving medium light for about 2hours in the mornin, then low light the rest of the day. It’s growing by spreading and getting wider with new growth smaller than the older leaves. I’ve seen others in florists that grow up and out; mine is growing just out. What’s causing this? Or is this a species that grows this way?

Ask the Expert: My Peace Lily won’t grow I have a Peace Lily from my mother’s funeral, I don’t want it to die, but it just won’t grow. I have had it for a year and it hasn’t done a thing, in fact, it has lost a couple of leaves. It was small to begin with but it is looking really sad. I read the news letter about Peace Lilies and I think I may be over watering it, but what else can I do?
