My peace lily started growing white leaves. They aren't the flower, but are the same color. They don't feel like the flower, but they are a bit softer than the leaf. They sometimes turn green and it still produces some green leaves as well. I have one leaf that is half green, half white. I was wondering if this was something I should worry about.

Apparently, you have a "sport" or genetic mutant. People wjho hybrid plants often use "sports" to introduce new qualities in plant species. The color variations are not a sign of ill health and there is nothing you can do to control these variations because they are genetic.
