Spathiphyllum Variegated

Spathiphyllum Variegated – Variegated Peace Lily

The Spathiphyllum Variegated is a striking cultivar of the classic Peace Lily, prized for its lush green foliage splashed with creamy-white to yellow variegation. Its broad, lanceolate leaves create a bold, tropical look, while the marbled patterns add a unique ornamental quality not found in the standard green form. In maturity, it produces elegant white spathes that contrast beautifully with the foliage, making it a popular choice for both homes and offices. Beyond its beauty, Spathiphyllum is also valued as an excellent indoor air purifier.

Care Plan

Light:

• Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain strong variegation.

• Will tolerate lower light conditions but with reduced leaf variegation and slower growth.

• Avoid direct sunlight, which may scorch the leaves.

Watering:

• Keep the potting mix evenly moist, allowing the top 2–3 cm to dry between waterings.

• Do not allow the plant to sit in water as this can lead to root rot.

• In warmer months, water more frequently; reduce watering in cooler months.

Humidity:

• Thrives in moderate to high humidity.

• Mist foliage or place near a humidifier if indoor air is dry.

Temperature:

• Ideal range is 18–28 °C.

• Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15 °C.

Soil / Potting Mix:

• Use a free-draining, peat-based or premium indoor potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark for aeration.

Fertiliser:

• Apply a balanced, liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer.

• Reduce feeding in autumn and winter.

Maintenance:

• Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and maintain their shine.

• Remove spent flowers and damaged leaves to encourage new growth.

• Repot every 1–2 years, or when roots become pot-bound.
