Spathiphyllum wallisii 'Sweet Chico'

spathiphyllum sweet chico

Also known as: Peace Lily, Sweet Chico Peace Lily

Native to the tropical rainforests of Colombia and Venezuela, the Peace Lily is one of the most beloved and easy-going houseplants in the world — and Sweet Chico is its most compact and free-blooming variety. Unlike other peace lilies that bloom once or twice a year, Sweet Chico produces its elegant white flowers multiple times throughout the year, making it one of the most rewarding indoor plants you can own. In many cultures it is considered a symbol of peace, purity, and new beginnings — beautiful inside and out.

plant tips

  • water

    Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy — water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Sweet Chico will actually tell you when it's thirsty by drooping its leaves slightly — water it and it bounces right back.

  • light

    Thrives in bright to medium indirect light. Tolerates lower light well but blooms most frequently with more brightness — always keep away from direct sun which can scorch the leaves.

  • zone

    Houseplant.

  • size

    Grows about 18–20 in. tall and wide — compact, neat, and perfectly sized for any tabletop or shelf.

care

Place in a warm, humid spot with bright indirect light and keep away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry and wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to keep them looking their best. Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer. Remove spent flowers and any yellowing leaves at the base to encourage fresh new blooms and keep the plant looking full year-round.
