Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your peace lily live plant is remarkably straightforward, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts. Understanding its basic needs will ensure your Spathiphyllum thrives, producing its iconic elegant white blooms and lush foliage. When it comes to lighting, the Peace Lily prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can scorch its delicate leaves, turning them yellow or brown. A north or east-facing window is often ideal, or a spot a few feet away from a south or west-facing window. This preference for lower light conditions makes it a quintessential low light indoor plant.

Watering is crucial for healthy spathiphyllum care. The plant will tell you when it’s thirsty by slightly drooping its leaves. Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Ensure the pot has adequate drainage to prevent root rot, which is a common issue for overwatered plants. While the Peace Lily enjoys consistent moisture, it does not like to sit in soggy soil. Temperature-wise, this plant thrives in typical indoor temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Protect it from cold drafts and extreme temperature fluctuations. For soil, use a well-draining potting mix; a blend containing peat and perlite works well to provide both moisture retention and proper aeration. While the Peace Lily tolerates average household humidity, it appreciates higher levels. If leaf tips start to brown, consider misting the foliage regularly or placing the pot on a pebble tray with water to increase localized humidity, especially during dry winter months. Fertilize sparingly, perhaps once every 2-4 months during the growing season (spring and summer), with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Over-fertilization can harm the plant.
