About Spathiphyllum 'Domino'
Domino is a variegated selection of the classic peace lily, splashed with irregular cream-white streaks and blocks across the glossy dark green blade, a departure from the plain green foliage most people associate with Spathiphyllum. It retains the species' famously easygoing, low-light-tolerant nature and characteristic white spathe flowers, making variegated foliage available in one of the most forgiving houseplants sold in the UK.

Before you buy
- Widely available and inexpensive: be cautious of collector-level pricing for the plain species
- A drooping, wilted appearance in a listing photo isn't necessarily a sign of poor health; this species droops noticeably when thirsty and recovers within hours of watering
- For the variegated 'Domino' or 'Picasso' forms, confirm the white/cream pattern in photos matches the specific named cultivar rather than assuming any patterned Peace Lily is interchangeable
- Check for a full, multi-leaf clump rather than a single leaf at this price point
Spathiphyllum 'Domino' care
- Substrate
- A moisture-retentive but well-aerated soil mix suits this species best. A standard peat-free houseplant compost blended with a third perlite or orchid bark prevents the roots from sitting in water.
- Watering
- Water thoroughly when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry. The plant droops noticeably when thirsty and recovers rapidly upon watering, though consistent wilting can cause brown leaf tips.
- Humidity
- It adapts well to average household humidity, but maintaining levels around 50 to 60 percent prevents crispy leaf margins. Grouping it with other plants or using a pebble tray provides sufficient moisture in dry indoor air.
- Feeding
- Apply a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser at half strength once a month during the active growing season. Withhold feeding over winter when the plant's growth slows down.
- Repotting
- Repot every 12 to 18 months, or when the dense root system completely fills the container. Select a pot only one size larger to avoid holding excess moisture in the unoccupied soil.
Common problems
Brown leaf tips
Cause: Low humidity, inconsistent watering, or the accumulation of minerals from tap water
Fix: Maintain a steady watering schedule, increase ambient humidity, and occasionally flush the root zone with rainwater
Lack of flowers
Cause: Prolonged exposure to very low light, despite the plant's general shade tolerance
Fix: Relocate the plant to a position with bright, indirect light to encourage new spathes, ensuring it is shielded from direct sun
Yellowing lower leaves
Cause: Overwatering and poorly draining soil
Fix: Allow the top third of the soil to dry before watering again, and check that the pot drainage holes are not blocked

How to propagate Spathiphyllum 'Domino'
- Methods
- Division, Seed
- Difficulty
- Easy. Forgiving of missed waterings, average home humidity, and imperfect light. A solid pick for beginners or low-fuss collections.
- Time to establish
- 2-3 months
- True from cuttings
- Yes. Cuttings keep the cultivar's character.
- Notes
- Division is the simplest method for mature specimens that have formed a dense basal clump. Separate the root ball into sections during spring repotting, ensuring each division retains a portion of the root system and several leaves. Pot these sections directly into fresh soil and keep them slightly moist while they recover.
