DETAILS
Care Instructions
Peace Lilies prefer bright, indirect light and should be kept in moderate temperatures. They thrive in high humidity and should be watered regularly to keep the soil consistently moist. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.Soil
Peace Lilies prefer well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of peat, pine bark, and perlite is ideal. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize every 6-8 weeks during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing as it can lead to salt buildup in the soil.Repotting
Repot Peace Lilies every 1-2 years or when the plant 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
Peace Lilies can be propagated by division. The best time to propagate is during repotting. Carefully separate the plant into smaller sections, ensuring each section has roots attached. Plant the divisions in separate pots with fresh soil.Pruning
Prune Peace Lilies 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
Peace Lilies are toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and swelling in the mouth and throat. Keep the plant out of reach of children and pets.Additional
Peace Lilies are known for their air-purifying qualities, making them a popular choice for indoor environments. They can help remove toxins such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene from the air.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
