Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your variegated peace lily sensation is straightforward, and with a few key practices, you can ensure it flourishes into a magnificent specimen. Providing the right environment will allow its beautiful variegation to truly shine. This spathiphyllum sensation thrives in conditions that mimic its native tropical habitat.

For sunlight, place your peace lily houseplant in a location that receives bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate variegated leaves, causing brown spots and fading the beautiful white patterns. An east-facing window is often ideal, or a few feet away from a south or west-facing window. If your home lacks sufficient natural light, a grow light can supplement its needs. When it comes to watering, consistency is key. Peace lilies prefer consistently moist, but not waterlogged, soil. Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of the soil feels dry to the touch. You’ll know it’s thirsty if the leaves start to droop slightly; they are quite dramatic and will perk up quickly after a good drink. Ensure your pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot. The ideal soil type is a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A standard indoor potting mix amended with perlite or orchid bark can provide the aeration and drainage necessary for healthy root growth. Peace lilies appreciate high humidity, so consider misting the leaves regularly, placing the pot on a pebble tray with water, or using a humidifier, especially in drier climates or during winter months. They prefer temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and should be protected from cold drafts. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring through summer) with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in fall and winter. Common problems include yellowing leaves (overwatering or underwatering), brown leaf tips (low humidity), and lack of blooms (insufficient light or nutrients). Addressing these issues promptly will keep your variegated peace lily sensation vibrant and healthy.
