Peace Lily Plant ![]()

Here are some care tips for Peace Lily plants:
– Light: Place peace lilies in a location with bright, indirect sunlight, such as an east-facing window. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause the plant to dry out .
– Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not overly saturated. Water thoroughly and allow the top 1/4 to 1/2 of the soil to dry out before watering again. Drooping leaves indicate the plant needs water. Use filtered, room-temperature water to avoid brown leaf tips caused by chemicals in tap water .
– Humidity: Peace lilies thrive in high humidity. Increase humidity by misting the leaves or placing the pot on a tray of moistened gravel .
– Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 75°F (18 to 23°C) during the day and about 10°F cooler at night. Keep plants away from furnaces or drafty windows .
– Fertilizing: Fertilize every 6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Avoid fertilizing in late fall or early winter .
– Soil: Plant peace lilies in well-draining, all-purpose potting soil that holds moisture. Repot every few years in the spring to refresh the soil .
– Cleaning: Wipe down the leaves with a damp cloth monthly to remove dust, which can prevent the leaves from breathing .
– Flowering: To encourage flowering, move the plant to a brighter location with indirect light. Use a fertilizer made for flowering plants, which has a higher amount of phosphorus .
– Pests: Wipe leaves with a dish soap and water solution or insecticidal soap to treat scale and mealybugs .
– Pruning: Prune off any damaged or dying leaves using sharp scissors. Remove flowers as they begin to discolor or fade .
– Toxicity: Keep peace lilies away from children and pets, as they are toxic if ingested .
