Spathiphyllum wallisii (5cm Pot) Care Guide

Spathiphyllum wallisii, commonly known as Peace Lily, is a beautiful, low-maintenance plant known for its elegant white flowers and dark green foliage. Though it’s typically grown as a houseplant, it can also thrive in aquariums or paludariums, where it adds a tropical touch. Here’s a concise care list for your Spathiphyllum wallisii:

Care Requirements

• Tank Size: Suitable for tanks of 10 gallons or larger, or paludariums.
• Lighting: Moderate to low; bright, indirect light is ideal, but it can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which may scorch the leaves.
• Temperature: 18–27°C (64–80°F); ideal for tropical environments.
• pH Range: 6.0–7.5; prefers slightly acidic to neutral water.
• Water Hardness: Soft to moderate (2–12 dGH).
• Substrate: Nutrient-rich substrate or a hydroponic medium for best growth. In aquariums, it will benefit from root tabs or adding nutrients to the substrate.
• Growth Rate: Moderate; it grows slowly and may need occasional pruning to maintain its shape.
• CO2 Requirement: Not required, though CO2 supplementation can enhance growth and overall health.

Key Tips

• Keep the plant out of direct sunlight to avoid burning the leaves.
• Water regularly but avoid letting the substrate become soggy; Peace Lilies like moisture but don’t thrive in waterlogged conditions.
• Ideal for tanks or setups with low to moderate lighting.
• Occasionally trim dead or yellowing leaves to keep the plant looking tidy.

Spathiphyllum wallisii is a graceful and easy-to-care-for plant that adds beauty and tranquility to any aquatic or tropical setup. With the right care, it will thrive and bloom in your aquarium or paludarium, making it a stunning addition to your plant collection.
