DETAILS
Care Instructions
The Peace Lily prefers moderate temperatures and high humidity. It thrives in indirect bright light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.Soil
The Peace Lily prefers well-draining, loamy soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix of peat, pine bark, and perlite or sand works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom.Fertilizer
Feed the Peace Lily with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (20-20-20) every 6-8 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.Repotting
Repot the Peace Lily every 1-2 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the current one. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Propagation
Propagate the Peace Lily by division. The best time to do this is during the spring. Carefully separate the plant into smaller sections, ensuring each section has roots attached. Plant the divisions in separate pots with fresh soil.Pruning
Prune the Peace Lily to remove dead or yellowing leaves and spent flowers. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts. Regular pruning helps maintain the plant's appearance and encourages new growth.Toxicity
The Peace Lily is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and swelling of the mouth, tongue, and throat. Keep the plant out of reach of children and pets.Additional
The Peace Lily is known for its air-purifying qualities, making it an excellent choice for improving indoor air quality. It can remove common toxins such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene from the air.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
