Provide Indirect Light Peace lilies thrive in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch their leaves. Place them near a window with filtered light for optimal growth.
Water Regularly, But Don’t Overwater Water your peace lily when the top inch of soil feels dry. They like moisture but hate being waterlogged. Always allow excess water to drain to prevent root rot. If the leaves start drooping, it's often a sign they need water.
Maintain Humidity Peace lilies prefer higher humidity levels. If the air in your home is dry, mist the leaves regularly, or place a humidifier nearby to create a more comfortable environment for the plant.
Fertilize Sparingly Feed your peace lily with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can lead to burnt leaf tips and poor growth.
Keep the Leaves Clean Dust can accumulate on the leaves, blocking sunlight and affecting the plant’s health. Gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to keep them clean and allow for better photosynthesis.
– Repot When Necessary Peace lilies benefit from occasional repotting, especially when their roots outgrow their pot. Repotting every 1-2 years helps maintain their health and gives them more space to grow
Prune Dead or Yellow Leaves To keep your peace lily looking neat and healthy, prune any yellow or dead leaves. This helps the plant direct its energy into new growth and keeps it looking vibrant.
