How to read these values
These care values are quick reference points for indoor growing. Use them as a guide, then adjust for pot size, substrate, temperature and how quickly the substrate dries.
For more detail, read the full product description or visit our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level and approximate lux at leaf level.
- Watering: “% dry” shows how far the substrate should dry before watering again.
- Substrate: structure, drainage, moisture retention, base material and particle size.
- Temperature: “Ideal” shows the preferred range; “Avoid below” marks the cold-stress threshold.
- Humidity: target range; steady conditions usually matter more than exact numbers.
- Growth habit: how the plant grows, such as upright, climbing, trailing, clumping or rosette-forming.
- Support: whether a stake, pole or trellis is needed, optional or unnecessary.
- Growth speed: expected pace under suitable indoor conditions; use as a guide, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term indoor size under good conditions.
- Toxicity & safety: irritation, toxicity or physical hazards such as spines or bristles.
- Origin & habitat: native range, hybrid background or typical habitat where relevant.
- Outdoor growing: when a potted indoor plant can be placed outside and what outdoor protection it needs.
Spathiphyllum ‘Alana’ – compact peace lily with elegant white spathes
Spathiphyllum ‘Alana’ is a refined, compact hybrid peace lily valued for its glossy dark green foliage and elegant white spathes. Its neat habit, evergreen leaves, and reliable flowering make it an excellent choice for homes and offices where a smaller, tidy plant is preferred.
What makes Spathiphyllum ‘Alana’ stand out
‘Alana’ forms dense clumps of erect, lance-shaped leaves with a glossy sheen. From this foliage emerge ovate white spathes up to 15 cm long, each holding a slender cream spadix inside. The balance between compact size, rich foliage, and perfectly proportioned flowers gives this cultivar a refined, modern look compared to larger peace lilies.
Background and taxonomy
The genus Spathiphyllum combines the Greek spathē (“sword”) and phyllon (“leaf”), referring to the sword-like floral spathes. The species most commonly used in cultivated hybrids, Spathiphyllum wallisii, was named after German plant collector Gustav Wallis (1830 – 1878), who introduced many tropical plants to Europe. ‘Alana’ is part of this horticultural lineage, selected for compact growth and abundant blooming.
How to care for Spathiphyllum ‘Alana’
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates moderate shade. Avoid harsh sun which can damage leaves.
- Water: Keep soil evenly moist, letting the top 2 – 3 cm dry slightly between waterings. Do not allow standing water.
- Substrate: Prefers a well-draining potting mix with organic content to retain balanced moisture.
- Temperature and humidity: Best between 18 – 26 °C with humidity above 50 %. Higher humidity helps prevent browning leaf tips.
- Fertilizer: Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertiliser during active growth and flowering.
- Maintenance: Remove yellowing leaves and spent spathes. Repot every 2 – 3 years when root-bound.
Common problems and solutions
- Brown tips: Usually caused by low humidity or inconsistent watering. Increase humidity and maintain steady care.
- Drooping foliage: Indicates underwatering – water thoroughly and adjust frequency.
- Yellow leaves: May occur with overwatering or natural leaf aging. Check root health and drainage.
- Poor flowering: Often due to low light. Move to a brighter spot with indirect exposure.
Notes for growers
Like other peace lilies, ‘Alana’ contains calcium oxalate and should be kept away from pets and children. Its compact proportions and reliable flowers make it suitable for smaller interiors, tabletops, or spaces where larger hybrids might be overwhelming.
Etymology and naming
Spathiphyllum is derived from Greek spathē (“sword”) and phyllon (“leaf”), describing the spathes. The epithet wallisii commemorates Gustav Wallis, the German collector responsible for introducing many tropical plants to Europe. The cultivar name ‘Alana’ highlights its distinct identity within modern hybrid breeding.
