Spathiphyllum 'Diamond' takes the classic peace lily silhouette, glossy, arching leaves and elegant white spathes, and adds bold white variegation streaked and splashed across every leaf. The result is a plant that retains the famously forgiving nature of the species while looking dramatically different from the all-green form. It tolerates lower light levels better than most variegated plants and is comfortable in rooms where other houseplants would struggle.

Peace lilies are one of the most recognisable houseplant families for a reason. They're reliable, tolerant, and will tell you exactly when they need water by drooping (and bouncing straight back once you do). Diamond keeps all of that easy-going temperament while adding something genuinely different to a collection.

Origins
Spathiphyllum species are native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America and Southeast Asia, where they grow on the forest floor in shaded, humid conditions. 'Diamond' is a cultivar selected for its white-variegated foliage, which is relatively stable compared to many variegated aroids.

Soil and Substrate
Our Simply Houseplant Tropical Potting Mix suits peace lilies well: a balanced peat-free blend with coco coir, bark, and perlite that provides consistent moisture with good drainage. Water when the top 2 cm of substrate is dry, or when the leaves begin to droop slightly, which is the plant's reliable way of telling you it is thirsty. It recovers quickly once watered.
