How To Care For Peace Lily
The peace lily is a really easy to care for plant on the water front. Their leaves may start to wilt and fall when they are dehydrated, but top them back up and watch the peace lily spring back to life.
As a tropical plant, the peace lily wants temperatures above 16°C and away from cold, drafty windows. Keep them out of direct afternoon sunlight, but in a bright, well-lit area. An east-facing window is ideal, as they will be exposed to the bright morning sun but avoid the intensity of mid-day rays. Keep away from cold draughts through the winter as your peace lily won’t like the cold wind.
Peace lilies enjoy high humidity. Misting their leaves or placing their pot atop a moistened tray of gravel can help to increase humidity around the plant.
Find a nutrient rich, loose compost for your Peace Lily. We recommend Miracle Gro’s Peat-Free Houseplant Compost. It can be also good idea to add slow releasing organic fertiliser like worm castings to mimic the decaying plant material they usually feed on the canopy floor in the tropical rainforest.
Peace lilies are not heavy feeders, so fertilise only occasionally. To encourage spring and summer growth, fertilize every 6 weeks or so with a balanced houseplant fertilizer like Baby Bio’s Houseplant Fertiliser.
Peace Lilies are pretty worry-free when it comes to pests and diseases. However, keep your eye out for scale and mealybugs which can be easily treated with neem oil.
You can re-pot your peace lily once it looks like it has grown too big for it’s pot. They are super easy to propogate by division – simply shake the soil loose and carefully divide the plants and untangle their roots – then place in their own pot.
