Spathiphyllum ‘Bingo Cupido’ – large-flowered peace lily hybrid


Spathiphyllum ‘Bingo Cupido’, also known by the trade name ‘Spapril’, is a hybrid peace lily admired for its oversized inflorescences and impressive floral display. Broad, deep-green foliage provides a lush backdrop, while stout stems lift the large white spathes just above the leaves for maximum effect.
 
● Why Spathiphyllum ‘Bingo Cupido’ stands out


Compared to standard peace lilies, ‘Bingo Cupido’ produces inflorescences that are significantly larger, with strong stems that hold them proudly above the foliage. Flowers appear in good numbers, creating a bold and elegant display that contrasts beautifully with its glossy dark leaves. This makes it one of the showiest hybrids for collectors and interior designers alike.
 
● Background and taxonomy


The genus Spathiphyllum combines the Greek words spathē (“sword”) and phyllon (“leaf”), describing the sword-like spathes that enclose its flowers. The commonly cultivated species Spathiphyllum wallisii was named in honour of Gustav Wallis (1830 – 1878), a German plant collector who introduced many tropical plants to Europe. ‘Bingo Cupido’ belongs to the Cupido hybrid line, bred for enhanced bloom size and decorative value.
 
● How to care for Spathiphyllum ‘Bingo Cupido’


Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but also adapts to moderate shade. Avoid harsh direct sunlight that may scorch the foliage.
Water: Keep soil evenly moist, letting the top 2 – 3 cm dry slightly between waterings. Never allow the pot to stand in excess water.
Substrate: Use a nutrient-rich, well-draining potting mix with some organic matter to retain moderate moisture.
Temperature and humidity: Best in 18 – 26 °C with humidity above 50 %. Benefits from slightly higher humidity for pristine leaf edges.
Fertilizer: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly during active growth and flowering for consistent performance.
Maintenance: Remove spent spathes and old leaves to keep the plant vigorous. Repot every 2 – 3 years when roots become crowded.
Common problems and solutions
Brown leaf tips: Often due to low humidity or irregular watering. Increase humidity and maintain steady moisture.
Drooping leaves: Typically underwatering — revive by thorough watering and adjusting schedule.
Yellow leaves: May result from overwatering or natural aging. Check soil and root health.
Lack of flowers: Usually linked to low light. Move plant to a brighter spot with indirect light.
 
● Notes for growers


Like all peace lilies, ‘Bingo Cupido’ contains calcium oxalate and should be kept away from pets and children. Its large flowers and robust foliage make it an excellent choice for statement displays in homes, offices, or hospitality spaces where dramatic, long-lasting blooms are valued.
 
● Etymology and naming
