Reduced flowering or weak, stretched growth can fit insufficient light. Bleached or scorched tissue can follow harsh direct exposure, while brown tips also have water, humidity and salt possibilities.
Spathiphyllum wallisii light guide
Place Spathiphyllum wallisii in bright, filtered light. It tolerates shade, but a room that is too dark can weaken growth and flowering. Hot direct sun can scorch leaves.

Check the light reaching the leaves
Best position and light
Spathiphyllum wallisii tolerates partial or deeper shade, but bright indirect light is the more useful indoor target for growth and flowering. Hot direct sun can scorch leaves.
Place the plant near a bright window with filtered light or behind a sheer curtain. Keep it away from a hot, unfiltered pane and from a position so dark that flowering and growth weaken.
Recheck the same position through the year
Seasonal light changes
Keep the same filtered-light boundary year-round. Watch for lower winter light and stronger summer sun through glass. No fixed seasonal move or measurement schedule is established.
Inspect the plant before moving it
