Ask The Expert: I am preparing to repot my beloved peace Lily and have selected a beautiful (large) pot. I would like to accent around the base of the Lilly with another small leafy plant. I wonder if you can suggest a variety that will be symbiotic, or at least get along very well with the lilly?

Thank you very much! Kabir

You need something that needs the same conditions as a peace lily.  So plants that like humid and warm environments and light to partial shade are going to be compatible with peace lilies (Spathiphyllum).  I suggest using Peperomias or Tradescantia (Spiderwort).  There are other plants that will work, but these genus have textures and colors that will compliment the peace lily foilage.
