Wipe the Leaves Weekly Dust blocks sunlight and clogs leaf pores. Gently wiping leaves with a damp cloth once a week helps your Peace Lily photosynthesize better.
Check Soil Moisture with Your Finger Stick your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, it’s time to water. Overwatering leads to root rot; underwatering causes drooping.
Water with Room-Temperature Water Cold water shocks the roots. Use water that’s been sitting for a few hours to avoid shocking the plant and ensure proper absorption.
Use Filtered or Distilled Water Peace Lilies are sensitive to chemicals like chlorine and fluoride in tap water. Filtered water promotes healthy growth and more blooms.
Deadhead Spent Blooms Promptly Cutting off dead flowers redirects energy to new buds. Use clean scissors to snip the stem at the base.
Feed Lightly Once a Month A balanced liquid fertilizer (10-10-10) once a month during growing season boosts blooming without overwhelming the plant.
Maintain Humidity Around 50% Use a tray of water and pebbles or a humidifier to keep humidity up, especially in dry climates.
Wipe the Pot Too Salt buildup on the pot edges can harm roots. Wipe it clean every couple of weeks.
