The primary characteristics of Spathiphyllum leaf growth at three stages.

Stage	Number	Primary Growth and Morphological Characteristics
The curled leaf stage	W1/M1	Approximately ten days after the leaf buds transition to white, the tips of the leaves gradually change from white to yellow/white, while the base of the leaves remains white. During this period, curled leaves develop, with the leaves being enveloped in leaf sheaths.
The early spread stage	W2/M2	Approximately 10 to 13 days after the formation of curled leaves, the leaves emerge from the leaf sheath and begin to gradually unfold. During this process, the leaf color transitions from yellow/white to a delicate green.
The late spread stage	W3/M3	Approximately ten days after the onset of leaf color change, the leaves transition from light green to a deeper green. During this period, the leaves gradually expand, completing their growth. At this stage, the characteristics of the leaves stabilize and exhibit no further changes.
