Peace Lily Care

The Peace Lily is a popular indoor plant known for its graceful white blooms and deep green foliage.

It's beloved for purifying air and signaling its needs clearly.

With moderate care and low-light tolerance, Peace Lilies bring beauty and tranquility to homes, offices, and anyone new to plant care.

Prefers bright, indirect light. Tolerates low light but may bloom less. Avoid direct sunlight—it can scorch the leaves.

Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Peace Lilies droop when thirsty—then perk up after watering. Avoid soggy soil; ensure good drainage.

Prefers moderate to high humidity. Benefits from misting or pebble tray in dry environments. Leaf tips may brown in dry air.

Ideal range: 65–80°F (18–27°C). Protect from drafts and temps below 55°F.

Use a well-draining, peat-based houseplant mix.

A blend with perlite helps aeration and drainage.

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Use a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer. No feeding needed in winter.

Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound.

Spring is the best time to repot.

Remove yellow or spent leaves and blooms at the base. Wipe large leaves to keep them dust-free and healthy.

Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.

Can cause irritation, drooling, or vomiting

Yellow leaves = overwatering. Brown tips = dry air or underwatering. No blooms = low light or lack of feeding.

Watch out for mealybugs, spider mites, and aphids.

Peace Lilies are not true lilies and are often given as sympathy gifts for their association with peace and healing.
