Hi Yvette,

Peace Lily
Spathyphyllum

Your plant is called a peace Lily (Spathyphylum). Peace Lily houseplants are one of very few indoor plants that can bloom even in medium to low light. NASA lists Peace Lily Houseplants as one of the best plants to clean the air of harmful toxins such as benzene, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide.

Peace Lily houseplants do well in low, medium, or indirect bright light. Too much light causes the leaves to fade and lose their vibrant dark green color. Too little light and they can’t develop flowers. Direct sunlight burns the leaves.

Allow the top 50% of the soil to dry out before watering.  If a Peace Lily severely droops, yellow leaves appear once it’s watered again. Over-watering causes the leaves to turn dark brown.
