Care Instructions:
Light:
- Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegation. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may produce fewer blooms and less pronounced variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Water:
- Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in the winter months when the plant's growth slows.
Humidity:
- Thrives in moderate to high humidity environments. Regular misting or placing the plant near a humidifier can help maintain the necessary moisture levels, especially in dry indoor conditions.
Temperature:
- Prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C - 27°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
Soil:
- Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix rich in organic matter. A mix containing peat, perlite, and pine bark works well to support healthy growth.
Fertilizer:
- Feed with a diluted, balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Do not fertilize in the fall and winter.
Pruning:
- Prune to remove any dead or yellowing leaves and spent blooms. This encourages new growth and maintains the plant's neat appearance.
Styling Tips:
- Statement Plant: Use the Variegated Peace Lily 'Domino' as a focal point in a room. Its striking variegated leaves and white blooms make it a beautiful statement piece.
- Desk or Shelf Plant: Position the plant on a desk, shelf, or windowsill where its elegant foliage and blooms can be admired up close. Its compact size makes it perfect for adding visual interest to various spaces.
- Grouping with Other Plants: Combine with other houseplants with different leaf shapes and colors to create a diverse and visually appealing indoor garden.
- Air-Purifying Plant: Place the Variegated Peace Lily 'Domino' in areas where you spend a lot of time, such as the living room or bedroom, to benefit from its air-purifying qualities.
