Specialty varieties of peace lilies are not very easy to come by in most garden centers, though they have been growing in popularity. You may have more success ordering them from an online source.
- Spathiphyllum wallisii is a smaller peace lily, reaching only 12 inches tall.
- ‘Petite’ is smaller still, at approximately 8–10 inches.
- ‘Sensation’ is the largest variety available, capable of growing up to 4–6 feet in height and width.
- ‘Domino’, is a medium-size variety with attractively variegated leaves.
- ‘Mojo Lime’, which has lime-green foliage, is another medium-size peace lily.

Hi Lowra.
We recommend that you transplant you lily into a pot with drainage holes. The water needs to flow freely when you water and not collect in the bottom of the pot. You can scrape the mold off the top of the soil and replace it with fresh soil. You can also spray the top of the soil with vinegar. Mix 3 tablespoons of vinegar into a gallon of water.
The lilies are sometimes susceptible to pests like aphids and mites. A sticky, slimy discharge and wilting leaves and flowers may be a sign that you have an insect pest.
Take the lily outdoors and spray it with a strong jet of water. Then spray the plant with insecticidal soap.
