PEACE LILY PLANT CARE
Peace lilies (Spathiphyllum spp.) are popular indoor plants known for their elegant white blooms and glossy green leaves. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you care for your peace lily:
Sunlight
- Indirect Light: Peace lilies prefer bright, indirect light. They can tolerate lower light conditions, but too little light may result in fewer blooms and slower growth.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it's best to provide filtered or indirect light.
Watering
- Moderate Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch or so of soil feels dry.
- Sensitive to Overwatering: Peace lilies are sensitive to overwatering, which can cause root rot. Ensure proper drainage and avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.
Humidity
- Average Indoor Humidity: They can adapt to average indoor humidity levels, but they appreciate higher humidity. Mist the leaves occasionally or use a humidifier if the air is dry.
Temperature
- Temperature: Peace lilies prefer temperatures between 18-27°C. They are sensitive to cold drafts and should be protected from sudden temperature changes.
