Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Spathiphyllum is provided. It is a medium size plant, relatively open, suitable for production in a 15-20 cm pot from a single tissue culture produced microcutting; grows vigorously, naturally flowers early, abundantly and year-round; has dark green, glossy, thick leaves. Long lasting, relatively large spathes of a good quality from near onset of flowering are held on thick, strong peduncles; little to no pollen production reduces the amount of foliage cleaning prior to sale.
