1. Light

2. Watering

Peace Lilies are famous for being dramatic and will visibly droop/wilt when they need a drink—this is a reliable indicator!

• When to Water: Water thoroughly when the top $1$ to $2$ inches of soil feel dry to the touch, or when the leaves begin to droop.
• How to Water: Water until it drains freely from the bottom of the pot. Discard any excess water from the saucer to prevent root rot.
• Water Type: Peace Lilies can be sensitive to chemicals in tap water (like chlorine and fluoride), which can cause brown leaf tips. Use filtered water, rainwater, or tap water that has sat out overnight (to allow chlorine to dissipate).
• The Problem with Overwatering: Overwatering is the most common cause of Peace Lily failure, leading to root rot and yellowing leaves.

3. Temperature & Humidity

• Temperature: They thrive in standard indoor temperatures between 18∘C and 29∘C (65∘F and 85∘F).
  • Avoid Cold: Keep them away from cold drafts, A/C vents, or windows in winter, as temperatures below 15∘C (60∘F) can cause damage.
• Humidity: Being tropical plants, they appreciate high humidity (50% or more).
  • Mist the leaves occasionally.
  • Place the pot on a pebble tray filled with water (making sure the bottom of the pot is not submerged).
  • They do well in humid rooms like kitchens and bathrooms.

4. Soil and Repotting

• Soil Mix: Use a well-draining, all-purpose potting mix that is rich in organic matter. A mix containing peat moss, perlite, or coconut coir works well to balance moisture retention and drainage.
• Potting: They prefer to be slightly root-bound.
  • Repot only when the roots are circling the pot or emerging from the drainage holes, typically every $1$ to $2$ years in the spring.
  • When repotting, only move up to a pot $1$ to $2$ inches larger in diameter. A pot that is too large can hold excess water and increase the risk of root rot.

5. Fertilizing and Maintenance

• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20 or similar NPK ratio) every $6$ to $8$ weeks during the spring and summer growing season.
  • Crucial Tip: Use a diluted concentration (half- or quarter-strength) to prevent salt buildup, which can also cause brown leaf tips. Do not fertilize in fall or winter.
• Pruning:
  • Snip off faded flowers (spathes) and their entire stem at the base of the plant to encourage new blooms.
  • Remove any yellow or brown leaves at the soil line to keep the plant tidy and healthy.
• Cleaning: Wipe the glossy leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks to remove dust, which helps maximize light absorption (photosynthesis).
