As a comment about Peace Lilies (Spathiphyllum), sallyg wrote:

This is a popular plant with a reputation for doing well in low light. I have kept a "petite" version for many years, both at home and in a commercial setting. The dark green leaves are pretty. It needs attention to watering. Good news is it wilts when dry and demands water; bad news is that such events cause some older leaves to turn yellow each time, so it will thin the plant if it happens too often. The dry air of the commercial setting seems to make it more prone to these drying events.

What type of fertilizer should I feed my Peace Lillie? I also am getting some black spots on the leaves that seem to start on the edge of the leaves and grows inward. ( Please see photo) I have already removed two leaves but A third one has developed. Is this some type of mold? How Can I treat it or prevent it from returning?
Thanks in advance.

I don't feed my peace lilies at all, but if you insist, I suggest Vigoro or Mirace Gro 'blue water' type food, at half strength.
I rarely feed my potted plants. I try to always use rainwater for watering.
Do make sure the soil is not staying too wet. But in my experience, they can take a lot of wet soil.
I can't really advise, You may do better to post a question in the Houseplant forum. Good luck Thumbs up
Plant it and they will come.
