They may be.............but Spathiphyllum (peace lily) is NOT a true aquatic plant. Sorry!!
Enjoy your Spathiphyllum as a potted plant - it's pretty and extreemely robust at the same time 🙂

It grows quite well with just the roots of the plant in water, the leaves and stalks above water, like a riparium plant.

Yeah I have a peace lilly in my aquarium with the roots submerged under the water and the leaves above the water.

Its been in there for months now and doing great, the only thing is I'm getting new growth all the time but the flowers dont go white any more they stay green.

any one know why this is?

99% sure it is a Spathiphyllum, It had white flowers when I bought it.

But like I say over time the white flowers die off and the new flowers that grow stay green.

Same happened to me. It flowered white ones in the tank water(not outside) for about a couple of months, then started flowering green ones while the white were still alive. I am not sure why this is.
