Peace lily varieties for indoor spaces

  1. 01

    Plant names and labels

    This guide covers Spathiphyllum wallisii. Named selections are forms within it, and not every plant sold as a peace lily is this exact species.

    Useful indoor choice groups include compact Wallisii or Petite forms, striped Domino or Gemini forms, and large floor-plant types such as Mauna Loa and Sensation. These are practical groups, not a formal complete classification.

  2. 02

    How the varieties differ

    Wallisii is smaller, Petite is bred as a small houseplant, Domino and Gemini are compact or striped forms, and Sensation and Mauna Loa grow substantially larger. Bellini is another compact named Wallisii form.

  3. 03

    Care differences

    The practical care choice is space and placement: large forms need a larger footprint and container, while compact or striped forms suit smaller spaces or a foliage-focused display. There is no separate watering or fertilizer schedule for each named form.

  4. 04

    Limits of plant labels

    The named forms are examples, not a complete inventory. Retail labels may use trade names, hybrids, or uncertain species identities, and there are no form-by-form care numbers.
