The peace lily has long been, and still is, a prevalent and adored houseplant due to its delicately beautiful white blooms and its shiny green leaves. Surprisingly, there is a new development emerging in plant care that has got the enthusiasts talking — the dark purple peace lily. This unique lily variation complements any home and has an added appeal with dark and rich colors. White Columbia lilies are the most common of all. This darker version of the popular houseplant is new and exciting. It grabs attention.

Here, we’ll discuss all aspects of what this impressive and mysterious plant consists of, how to care for it, and what contributed to the fact that it has grown in demand among the fans of green pets.

Dark Purple Peace Lily: What Is This Plant? 🪴💜

The plant known as the dark purple peace lily is neither an indigenous container nor a species but a hybrid variety developed due to the unique color. Although most of the peace lily’s blooms are mauve/purple and its foliage is green, the challenge comes in those with bright white flowers. This plant embraces creamy white bracts which contain yellow floral structures known to be a spathe; however, this species consists of two colors: the flower’s deep plum color and the stalk’s light purple.

The alteration in hues is not one of those features that would bring about any change in the plant morphology or mode of growth. As is standard in the case with the traditional peace lily, it bears similar green leaves and elongated stems that gently curve. The dark blooms offer a dramatic version for this variant, and it is well suited for indoor gardening for any individual who wishes to go bolder with making a statement.

Why Choose a Dark Purple Peace Lily? 🌱💫

Aesthetic points of view.

The first and probably the only reason for buying a dark purple peace lily is the beauty of the flower itself. The colors of the rich purple flowers will lavishly differ within the lush green leaves, which make it even more outstanding when placed in any room. Be it a house that will be designed in a minimalistic style or an interesting combination of functional styling – this flower can be the one used as a bright accent.

Air purification ability

Like its counterpart with flowers of white shade, the dark purple peace lily also claims the ability to purify indoor air. According to the Clean Air Studies carried out by NASA, peace lilies, in particular, tolerate the effluents and clean the atmosphere by absorbing highly toxic gases such as benzene, formaldehyde, and ammonia. So not only does this plant serve the purpose of enhancing the aesthetics of the home, but it also helps improve the quality of air.

Easy to care for.

Another benefit of all peace lilies, especially the white ones, is that they are easy to grow. These are quite good housekeeping plants but only want some diffused light and are watered only when the topsoil dries out. Thus, they are ideal for individuals who are always on the run or for beginners who are doing indoor gardening for the first time.

How to Take Care of Dark Purple Peace Lily 🌞💧

Peace lilies are, in general, easy to care for. But the dark purple variety needs more attention to keep its deep colors. In short order, here are some tips to assist you in managing your new gorgeous herb.

Light Conditions

The Peace Lily conditions are also other factors that would affect the growth of your Peace Lily. Peace lilies love. Indirect sunlight, meaning keep your plant near a window, but don’t put it in a place where direct sun rays can hit it above the leaves. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause leaves to get scorched and the flowers to fade their rich purple hues. If your house is on the darker side, a suggestion would be to use non-direct light in bright, filtered light rooms.

Watering

Watering is forgiving for common peace lily care, especially the dark purple variety. In this case, however, make sure that the roots are not soaking all the time and that there is enough drying time between waterings. Pour away standing water from saucers and use potting soil with good drainage. A rule of thumb to remember is to water when the top inch of dry soil feels dry.

Humidity

The peace lily plants are moisture-loving plants. In hot, dry areas, mist the plants often or get a humidifier. This will simulate their natural, tropical environment. This will also ensure that your leaves remain healthy and the flowers’ shades are bright.

Temperature

The ideal temperature levels for peace lilies should comfortably range between **65 to 80 (Fahrenheit/ 18 Celsius and 27 Celsius). They do not do well in extreme cold or heat. So, keep them away from cold, drafty windows and heating vents or radiators. A stable, warm indoor temperature will improve your plant’s health and blooms.

Fertilization

Peace lilies don’t need much feeding. But, in spring and summer, you can apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month. Also, do not apply excess fertilizers since these may burn the leaves or produce fewer flowers.

Common problems and how to deal with them. 🛠️🌿

Peace lilies are quite forgiving in terms of maintenance, but there are a few common problems, especially in the dark purple variety. This guide will help you tackle some of the basic challenges you may face.

Leaves are turning yellow.

Wilting

When it comes to watering, peace lily plants can be said to be ‘extremely’ dramatic. Say, for instance, you have forgotten to water your plant for a long time. Well then, the plant will start to droop to an alarming extent by the stem. Lucky for you, though, peace lilies are very hardy plants. Water it properly, and it should stand erect in a few hours.

Brown Tips

There is a deficit in humidity or water usage if the peace lily plant has brown tips on the leaves. Water the leaves and the plant on a regular basis in order to keep them free from trouble.

No blooms at all.
