1. Water Deeply, Not Just a Sprinkle
- Soak the whole root ball until water drains out, so the soil doesn’t “fake drink” and stays dry inside.
2. Let Soil Dry Slightly Between Waterings
- Keep soil slightly moist, not soggy. Empty saucers so roots don’t sit in standing water and rot.
3. Go Easy on Fertilizer
- Skip feeding for the first 6–12 months at home, then use a gentle liquid fertilizer at ¼–⅓ strength every few waterings.
4. Flush Out Salt Buildup
- Occasionally drench the pot with plain water and let it drain well to wash away excess fertilizer salts that burn leaf tips.
5. Check for Pests on Leaves
- Look under leaves for tiny bugs or webs (like spider mites) and gently wipe or rinse them off if you see any.
6. Protect from Heat & Harsh Sun
- Keep Peace Lilies away from hot windows and heaters. They prefer bright, indirect light instead.
7. Watch Older Leaves First
- Expect some brown tips on the oldest bottom leaves. Trim off dry tips or remove tired leaves to keep the plant tidy.
8. Ask “What Changed?” Before Repotting
- Before repotting or adding more fertilizer, ask yourself: Did I move the plant, change watering, or light? Fix those basics first!
By following these simple tips, your Peace Lily will thrive, producing beautiful blooms and lush, healthy foliage! 🌸✨
