Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your variegated peace lily domino is generally straightforward, making it an ideal choice for many plant enthusiasts. To ensure your plant thrives and its beautiful peace lily variegated leaves maintain their vibrant patterns, attention to a few key environmental factors is important.

Sunlight: The Spathiphyllum ‘Domino’ prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate variegated leaves and cause the white sections to turn brown. An east-facing window or a few feet away from a south or west-facing window is usually ideal. Too little light might reduce the variegation and flowering, but it will still grow as an attractive foliage plant. Rotate your plant occasionally to ensure even growth.

Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Peace lilies are dramatic and will start to droop when they need water, which is a clear signal. However, try not to let them wilt severely too often, as this can stress the plant. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering slightly in winter. Using filtered or distilled water can prevent leaf tip burn caused by chemicals in tap water.

Soil and Humidity: A well-draining potting mix is crucial. A standard indoor potting mix with some added perlite or bark for aeration works well. This plant thrives in high humidity, mimicking its natural tropical habitat. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, placing the pot on a pebble tray with water, or using a humidifier. Grouping plants together also helps create a microclimate with higher humidity. Ideal temperatures range from 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

Fertilization: Feed your easy care houseplant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter. Always dilute the fertilizer to half strength to avoid over-fertilization, which can lead to salt buildup and leaf burn. Prune any yellowing or browning leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance and health.
