Share
The Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) is a quintessential houseplant, loved for its graceful blooms, lush green foliage, and ability to thrive in various environments. Whether you’re new to plants or an experienced green thumb, this classic beauty makes an excellent addition to any space. At Chic Plant Boutique, we carry three stunning varieties of Peace Lilies—Wallisii, Domino, and Platinum Mist. Each brings its own charm, ensuring there’s a perfect Peace Lily for everyone.
Let’s dive into what makes the Peace Lily a timeless favorite and explore how to care for these exceptional varieties.
Why Choose a Peace Lily?
Peace Lilies are beloved for their many benefits, including:
- Air-Purifying Qualities: NASA’s Clean Air Study found that Peace Lilies can filter indoor toxins, improving air quality in your home or office.
- Elegant Aesthetic: Their glossy leaves and signature white flowers make them a versatile plant for any décor style.
- Low Maintenance: They thrive in low to moderate light and only need occasional watering.
- Forgiving Nature: If you forget to water, Peace Lilies will droop dramatically to let you know—it’s like having a plant that texts you when it’s thirsty!
Now, let’s meet the three varieties available at Chic Plant Boutique.

How to Care for Peace Lilies
Caring for Peace Lilies is straightforward, making them ideal for beginners and seasoned plant parents alike.
Light:
Peace Lilies thrive in bright, indirect light, but they’re also happy in low-light areas. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch their leaves.
Watering:
Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. When thirsty, Peace Lilies will droop as a signal to water them. Water thoroughly, letting excess drain away.
Humidity and Temperature:
These tropical beauties prefer warm, humid environments. Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 85°F, and increase humidity with a humidifier or by grouping plants together.
Fertilizing:
Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Skip fertilizing during the winter months.
Common Peace Lily Issues and Solutions
Even though Peace Lilies are low-maintenance, you may encounter occasional issues. Here’s how to handle them:
- Brown Leaf Tips: Often caused by chlorine or fluoride in tap water. Use filtered or distilled water to prevent this.
- Yellowing Leaves: Typically a sign of overwatering. Let the soil dry out slightly and check for proper drainage.
- Drooping Leaves: A telltale sign that it’s time to water. Peace Lilies recover quickly once hydrated.
Styling Ideas for Your Peace Lily
Peace Lilies are versatile and easy to style in any space:
- As a Desk Companion: The Wallisii is perfect for brightening up your office or home workspace.
- In a Living Room Display: Use the Domino to add texture and interest to a plant shelf or corner.
- As a Statement Piece: Let the Platinum Mist shine in a decorative pot as a focal point in your room.
