House Plant Care Guide – Spathiphyllum – Peace Lily

Situating it in lower lighted areas make this plant work almost anywhere. Try to keep it within 5 to 8 feet of a window for best results. Do not place your plant in direct sun. Direct sunlight can damage the Peace Lily’s foliage. If the leaves begin to yellow, it may mean it is receiving too much sunlight. Move it to a less lighted area.

The main care requirement for your Peace Lily is water. This plant requires heavy watering, but you must allow the soil to dry out in-between watering to a point as well. This house plant will let you know when it needs water. The leaves will begin to droop. Allowing the foliage to droop slightly in-between watering has turned out to be successful for me. However, do not let it droop severely. Once the plant is watered the foliage will spring back up. If you allowed it to dry out too much, some of the lower leaves may yellow and need to be removed.
Water well over the summer months and less over the winter.
This plant also loves higher humidity levels, place in a pebble tray or mist regularly, a couple times a week, to keep up humidity.
Wash the leaves regularly.

Temp: Keep warm over the winter min 60°F.

Feeding: A liquid feed every month over the growing season.
