Peace lilies (Spathiphyllum) are popular houseplants known for their ease of care and ability to thrive in low light conditions. They have glossy, dark green leaves and produce white flowers that resemble calla lilies. Here are some care tips for peace lilies:
Light: Peace lilies do well in medium to low light. They can tolerate fluorescent light, making them ideal for offices and indoor spaces without much natural light.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. Peace lilies are sensitive to chlorine and other chemicals in tap water, so it's best to use filtered water or let tap water sit out overnight before using it.
Humidity: They prefer high humidity. Mist the leaves regularly or place the plant on a tray with pebbles and water to increase humidity around the plant.
Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment, ideally between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
Fertilization: Feed the plant with a balanced houseplant fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Repotting: Peace lilies should be repotted every 1-2 years or when they outgrow their pot. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Toxicity: Keep in mind that peace lilies are toxic to pets and humans if ingested, so place them out of reach of children and animals.
Peace lilies are not only beautiful but also effective at improving indoor air quality by removing toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene.
