4" Spathiphyllum "Peace Lily"

Peace lilies (Spathiphyllum) are popular indoor plants known for their glossy green leaves and white flowers. Here are simple care tips for peace lilies:

1. Light: Thrives in medium to low indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. They can tolerate low light conditions but may not bloom as profusely.

2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season (spring and summer). Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly in winter, but don't let the soil dry out completely.

3. Humidity: Prefers high humidity but can adapt to normal household humidity levels. Mist the leaves occasionally or place the pot on a humidity tray with water and pebbles.

4. Temperature: Average room temperatures of 65-75°F (18-24°C) are ideal. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A mix formulated for houseplants or African violets works well.

6. Fertilizing: Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in winter when growth slows down.

7. Flowering: Peace lilies bloom intermittently throughout the year. If the plant stops flowering, check its light levels and ensure it's getting adequate humidity and nutrients.

8. Pruning: Remove yellow or brown leaves promptly to keep the plant healthy and tidy.

By following these care tips, you can enjoy a thriving and beautiful peace lily in your indoor space.
