Filtered Light Is Key Peace lilies thrive in bright, indirect light. Place them near a north- or east-facing window for optimal growth and extended blooms.
Consistent Watering Schedule Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Use Room-Temperature Water Cold water can shock the roots. Always water your peace lily with room-temperature water to keep the plant stress-free and blooming longer.
Wipe the Leaves Regularly Dusty leaves block sunlight. Gently wipe leaves with a damp cloth once a week to help your peace lily photosynthesize better.
Prune Spent Blooms Promptly Remove fading flowers and yellowing leaves to redirect energy toward new blooms and maintain plant health.
Feed Monthly During Growing Season Use a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer once a month from spring to early fall for steady growth and more frequent blooms.
Repot Every 1-2 Years A cramped root system can stunt blooming. Repot your peace lily into a slightly larger pot when roots begin to show through drainage holes.
Maintain High Humidity Mist the leaves or use a humidity tray. Peace lilies prefer humidity levels above 50%, especially in dry environments.
