In this article, we will explore the origin of peace lilies, discuss what distinguishes Wallisii variety and provide several maintenance tips for your indoor garden.

Peace Lily Background

The peace lily (Spathiphyllum) is a common indoor plant with dark green foliage and attractive white blooms. Peace lilies are originally from tropical areas of America and Southeast Asia. They have become ubiquitous in homes and offices across the globe because they do not require much looking after and are good air purifiers. Although it is called a peace lily, it actually belongs to the Araceae family which includes philodendrons as well as anthuriums.

Introduced into Europe in the 19th century, peace lilies were quickly acclaimed as pot plants that could survive even when light intensity was low. Many different types of these plants have been developed over time each having its own characteristics. Among them is the Wallisii Peace Lily whose distinctive appearance marks it out from others while at the same time being very compact.

How Wallisii  Peace Lily Is Different

Wallisii Peace Lily is smaller compared to regular peace lily varieties while possessing more delicate features. Its name comes from Gustav Wallis, a German botanist who greatly contributed to research on tropical flora as well as their cultivation. One thing that sets apart Wallisii type of plant from others such as Vittatum or Sensation varieties is its size; unlike them which can grow up to four feet tall this one usually grows to between 12-18 inches only. This small size makes it appropriate for tight spaces like tables, shelves and window sills.

The leaves of the Wallisii Peace Lily are different from those of other peace lily varieties. Indeed, they are quite narrow and elongated which imparts an air of grace and delicacy to the plant as opposed to the more robust broad leafed kinds typical of peace lilies. Moreover, its white spathes are much smaller in size than those of any other types resulting in a lovelier overall appearance.

Differences between Wallisii Peace lily and Other Peace Lilies

 

The Wallisii Peace Lily shares some similarities with other peace lilies including ability to grow in dim light conditions as well as its preference for moist soil but there are also some key differences that exist between them. As I previously mentioned, one of these differences is size; Wallisii Peace Lily is significantly tinier compared to varieties such as Mauna Loa Supreme or Sensation thus making it ideal for compact living spaces.

Another feature that distinguishes this species is its foliage shape. The leaves of the Wallisii Peace Lily have a slenderer shape and pointed tip giving it a more delicate look when compared with other variants that have rounder leaves. Consequently, this difference allows the existence Wallisii variety in people’s homes who might not fancy having a very conspicuous plant around them
