Things To Do

Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. It’s always better to under-water your Peace Lily, than give it too much to drink. You can let the top layer of soil dry out a little, as long as the remaining soil underneath is damp. If its leaves begin to droop, it needs a drink.

Wild Peace Lilies live on rainforest floors, receiving moisture and dappled light consistently. Replicate these conditions by misting your plant throughout the summer and positioning it somewhere it gets indirect sunlight.

Things Not To Do

Peace Lilies do not enjoy being over-watered, this will cause their leaves to droop, pale and turn yellow over time. They are also sensitive to fluoride, so filtered water is best. Alternatively, tap water can be left to sit for a couple of days, which allows these harmful chemicals to dissipate.

 

 

This plant does not like direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves and dry out its flowers. Near a window but not directly in it, in a warm room will be fine and it’s best to avoid draughts or placing it next to a radiator. Peace Lilies can also tolerate lower light levels, so are the perfect plant to brighten a dark corner but are likely to produce more flowers in a lighter spot.
