About Peace Lily

Peace Lily Care Guide

The Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) is one of the most iconic indoor plants, loved for its graceful white blooms and deep green leaves. More than just a pretty face, the Peace Lily is also a powerful natural air purifier, making it an ideal gift or addition to any home or office.

Lighting

Peace Lilies do best in bright, indirect light but are tolerant of low-light conditions. While they may not bloom as often in lower light, they’ll continue to grow healthy foliage. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause leaf scorch.

Watering

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Peace Lilies are known for wilting dramatically when thirsty, but they bounce back quickly after watering. Ensure the pot drains well, and never let the plant sit in standing water.

Temperature and Humidity

Keep your Peace Lily in temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. It enjoys moderate to high humidity—if your home is dry, consider misting occasionally or placing it near a humidifier to help maintain its lush appearance.

Feeding

Feed with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer about once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth naturally slows.

Care Tips

  • Wipe leaves regularly with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and allow for optimal photosynthesis.
  • If the leaf tips turn brown, it may be due to chemicals in tap water—try using filtered or distilled water.
  • Remove faded flowers and yellowing leaves to keep the plant tidy and healthy.

Elegant and easy to care for, the Peace Lily is perfect for plant lovers of all experience levels. Its calming presence and air-purifying qualities make it a thoughtful, long-lasting gift and a beautiful centerpiece for any indoor space.
