Peace Lily Care Guide

💧 Watering

Peace Lilies like consistent moisture but not soggy soil. Water when the top inch is dry. They'll dramatically droop when thirsty – a helpful reminder – but try not to let them wilt regularly as it stresses the plant. Use filtered water if possible; they're sensitive to chlorine.

☀️ Light Requirements

Peace Lilies are famous for tolerating low light, making them perfect for offices and north-facing windows. However, they bloom more readily with brighter (still indirect) light. Direct sun scorches their leaves. If your Peace Lily isn't flowering, try moving it to a brighter spot.

🌡️ Humidity & Temperature

As tropical plants, Peace Lilies love humidity above 50%. They tolerate average humidity but appreciate misting or a pebble tray. Brown leaf tips often indicate dry air. Keep temperatures between 65-85°F and avoid cold drafts.

🧪 Fertilizing

Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength. Peace Lilies are light feeders and sensitive to over-fertilizing, which causes brown leaf tips. No feeding needed in winter.

⚠️ Common Problems

• • Brown tips: Usually low humidity or fluoride/chlorine in tap water.
• • Yellow leaves: Overwatering, underwatering, or old age (bottom leaves naturally yellow).
• • No flowers: Needs more light. Peace Lilies also bloom more when slightly root-bound.
• • Drooping: Thirsty! Water immediately and it should recover within hours.
• • Brown spots: Could be sunburn or cold damage.
