Spathiphyllum #1

This is not a cultivar yet, a single plant is not a cultivar. It grew from my 'Gemini' adult plant.

I divided it from the mother plant, it rooted well and started to grow normally.	A few months later it bloomed only once so far.
The leaves changed its colour from white/green to pale green/green, but they returned to white after some time.
Growing in full Sun the leaf blades were about 20 cm long, they became burnt and I had to put the plant in a more shady place.	In winter I almost killed it by overwatering, it lost all leaves and the roots were rotting.
Fortunately it recovered, but the new leaves were no longer than 14 cm with petioles and often they didn't open fully. And so it looks today. Sometimes it produces all-white leaves which wither quickly. I doubt if it will ever produce any offsets, so I'm looking for someone who would like to propagate it in vitro.
