Spathiphyllum 'Diamond' Care Guide


  • Light Requirements: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, as it can scorch leaves. Bright light enhances variegation.
  • Temperature Preferences: Prefers warm temperatures of 18-25°C. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
  • Humidity Needs: High humidity (ideally 60-70%) prevents brown tips. Use a humidifier, mist occasionally, or group with other plants.
  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry before watering again.
  • Soil and Potting: Use a well-draining, peat-free mix with coco coir, perlite, and pine bark. Ensure the pot has drainage holes.
  • Fertilizer Needs: Feed monthly with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer at half strength. Increase to every two weeks during blooming.
  • Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years, preferably in spring, to refresh soil and provide space for growth.
  • Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged leaves and spent blooms to maintain plant health and encourage new growth.

Common Problems and Solutions


  • Yellowing Leaves: Usually due to overwatering. Let the topsoil dry before watering again and ensure proper drainage.
  • Brown Leaf Tips: Caused by low humidity or inconsistent watering. Increase humidity and check water quality.
  • Root Rot: Prevent by using well-draining soil and pots with drainage holes.
  • Pests: Watch for spider mites and mealybugs. Inspect leaves regularly and treat with a natural insecticide if needed.

Additional Care Tips


  • Water Quality Matters: Sensitive to chlorine and fluoride in tap water. Use filtered or distilled water.
  • Mimicking Natural Habitat: Originating from Central and South American rainforests, Spathiphyllum thrives in warm, humid environments. Recreate these conditions indoors for best results.

Etymology and Background


The name Spathiphyllum comes from Greek: spathē (spatula/sword) and phyllon (leaf), referring to its flower structure. The species name wallisii honors Gustav Wallis, a botanist who introduced many tropical plants.
