Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your variegated peace lily live plant is a rewarding experience, as it’s known for its resilience and adaptability. To ensure your plant thrives and displays its best variegation, pay attention to a few key environmental factors. This plant’s ability to communicate its needs, such as drooping leaves when thirsty, makes peace lily care relatively intuitive.

For sunlight, the variegated peace lily live plant prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves and diminish the variegation, so avoid placing it in south-facing windows without adequate shielding. An east or north-facing window is often ideal, or a few feet away from a west or south-facing window. If your home lacks sufficient natural light, a grow light can provide the necessary illumination. When it comes to watering, consistency is key. Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, which is detrimental to the plant’s health. You’ll often notice the leaves beginning to droop when the plant is thirsty, serving as a clear indicator that it’s time to water. Use well-draining, rich potting mix to provide the best environment for root health, ensuring excess water can escape easily. The ideal temperature range for this plant is between 65°F and 80°F (18°C-27°C). Avoid sudden temperature fluctuations or cold drafts, which can stress the plant. As a tropical plant, it also appreciates higher humidity. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, placing the pot on a pebble tray with water, or using a room humidifier. Fertilize your variegated peace lily live plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce or stop fertilizing in fall and winter when growth slows. Common problems include yellowing leaves (often due to overwatering or underwatering), brown leaf tips (low humidity), or lack of blooms (insufficient light or nutrients). Addressing these issues promptly will help maintain a healthy and vibrant plant, showcasing its beautiful spathiphyllum domino foliage.
