The flower that speaks
The Spathiphyllum communicates: its leaves droop dramatically when it is thirsty, then rise again within hours of watering.
Its bloom, a white spathe surrounding a spadix, renews several times a year in good conditions, even far from windows.
"The only plant that tells you exactly when it is thirsty."
