ABOUT THIS PLANT
The Peace Lily, or Shanti Lily, is a live Spathiphyllum kept indoors as a vastu plant. No shastra names it. Vastu practitioners assign it to Saraswati and to Shukra, day Friday, on the evidence of its white sattvic spathe, and place it in the north or east.
What this is
A Peace Lily is a live Spathiphyllum, a shade tolerant indoor plant with glossy dark green leaves, sold potted for the study corner, the hall or a north east room. The white spathe comes in its own season, so the plant may arrive in leaf only. In the shop it is kept under its Hindi name, Shanti Lily.
A vastu assignment, not a scripture
Say this one plainly, because the honest answer is more interesting than the invented one. No shastra names the Peace Lily. It is not an Indian plant and it entered Indian homes in the last century. What it has is a vastu reading, made by practitioners on the evidence of the plant itself: the white spathe is sattvic, white is Saraswati's colour, and the plant is therefore assigned to Saraswati and to Shukra, whose day is Friday. That reading sends it to the study, to the desk where exams are prepared for, and to the north east. It is a modern assignment and it is applied consistently. Treat it as what it is, and it serves well.
Where it comes from
Grown on under shade net until the crown is full and the root ball holds together, because a Peace Lily moved too young sulks for months. Each plant is potted, hardened off and packed upright in a ventilated carton.

SETTING IT UP
Care and placement
THE FIRST TWO WEEKS
What it does out of the box, day by day
A plant that has been in a box for two days behaves differently from a settled one. The care card in the carton says the same, so nobody panics on day three.
Days 1 to 2
Unbox at once, water lightly, keep out of direct sun. Some leaf drop is normal.
Days 3 to 6
It will look worse before it looks better. Do not repot, do not overwater.
Days 7 to 10
New growth at the tips. Move it to its final spot now.
Days 11 to 14
Settled. Begin the usual watering and the seva if you keep one.
Light water, out of direct sun
The first days ask for little: a light pour of water and shade, as the care card says.

QUESTIONS
Questions, answered
Is the Peace Lily named in any shastra?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. It is not an Indian plant. What it carries is a vastu assignment to Saraswati and Shukra, made on the evidence of its white sattvic bloom and applied consistently since.
Where should it be kept?
North or east, in indirect light. It is most often put in the study or beside a desk, which follows from the Saraswati reading.
Should the white bloom be offered in puja?
Leave it on the plant. The spathe is what the vastu reading rests on, and the plant is kept whole rather than cut for offerings.
How do I water it when it arrives?
Unbox at once and water lightly. Keep it in shade for two days, as the care card says.
Can I gift it?
Yes. It comes potted, with a care card in the carton.
Which states cannot receive plants?
A few restrict live plants. The pincode check at checkout will say.
