Spathiphyllum Domino

• Native to tropical Central and South America, this variegated cultivar brings exotic appeal to Australian homes. The distinctive white markings make each leaf unique.
• Produces elegant white spathes (not true flowers) on tall stems when mature and happy with care conditions. Blooms can last several weeks.
• Acts as a natural air purifier, removing common household toxins like formaldehyde and benzene from indoor air.
• Loved by plant collectors for its striking variegation and reliability - tolerates some neglect while rewarding good care with lush growth.
• Grows in attractive clumps with arching leaves, reaching 40-60cm tall and wide when mature.

• Water weekly when top 2cm of soil is dry - reduce to fortnightly in winter. Always check soil moisture first.
• Place in bright, indirect light away from direct sun which burns variegated leaves. East or north windows ideal.
• Use well-draining potting mix with peat or coconut coir for moisture retention. Ensure pots have drainage holes.
• Feed monthly with diluted liquid fertiliser during spring and summer growing season. Skip feeding in autumn and winter.
• Remove spent flowers and yellowing leaves at base with clean secateurs to encourage new growth.
• Maintain 50-60% humidity with pebble trays or grouping with other plants - essential for healthy growth.
• Divide overcrowded clumps every 2-3 years in spring for best performance and to create new plants.

• Provide bright, indirect light near a window but avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the variegated leaves. • Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain completely from the pot. • Maintain humidity levels of 40-60% by grouping with other plants or using a humidifier during dry months. • Keep temperatures between 18-24°C and protect from cold drafts and air conditioning vents. • Feed monthly during spring and summer with diluted liquid fertiliser to promote healthy growth and flowering.

• Spider mites can appear in dry conditions - increase humidity and wipe leaves with damp cloth weekly. Spray with neem oil if infestation persists.
• Brown leaf tips indicate low humidity or fluoride in tap water - use filtered water and place on pebble tray. Trim brown edges with clean scissors.
• Root rot from overwatering causes yellowing leaves and musty soil smell - reduce watering frequency and ensure proper drainage. Repot if severely affected.
• Aphids may cluster on new growth - rinse off with water spray or treat with insecticidal soap.
