In the garden

Spathiphyllum 'Sweet Pablo'PBR sits within the Araceae and is intended for greenhouse, conservatory and indoor culture where frost is excluded. Its clump-forming habit produces a stable mound of evergreen leaves that suits pots and containers in sheltered parts of the home or glasshouse. Position the plant in partial shade, ideally on a south- or east-facing aspect that avoids direct harsh sun and strong draughts. Use a loam or loam-rich growing medium with a neutral pH and keep the compost consistently moist but not waterlogged; the variety requires free drainage to avoid root problems. The listed hardiness H1b corresponds to tender conditions, so maintain a frost-free environment and protect the plant from cold exposure. As a houseplant or conservatory specimen, 'Sweet Pablo'PBR performs where temperature and moisture are steady. Expect it to hold a compact clump of foliage and to produce its seasonal flowers from May to September when provided with shelter, partial shade and an even, moist loam-based soil.
