    Black leaves can be the plant suffering from a build up of soluable salts. This can happen when the water is not allowed to drain though the pot.
    Salt builds up and burns the roots.
    Water the plant by placing in the tub or sink and run water through the soil well. Allow to drain and then dry out. When the top inch or so is dry, repeat the process.
    If the plant continues to turn black it may be to far gone to save.

    When the flower first forms it is usually green like the rest of the leaves. As it opens it turns from green to white.
    As the bloom ages it takes on a more green shade again and eventually will turn completely green.
    The color change is due to chlorophyll. Because the flower is actually a form of leaf. The process of photosynthesis takes place and the flower absorbs the sunlight and turns green.
    When the flower collapses you can cut it off.

    This is common.
    The spathe starts out green, then turns white and as it ages it generally turns green again.
    This color change is due to chlorophyll, plants absorb sunlight through the chlorophyll molecule in the photosynthesis process.
    The spathe is actually a leaf so it preforms photosynthesis.
