The Peace Lily makes a great houseplant for a number of reasons - they’re aesthetically pleasing, and they’re relatively easy to care for. While Peace Lilies do require regular watering and humidity, they are much less finicky than most tropical plants.
Owning a Peace Lily is ideal for an over-waterer, a plant parent who loves to give their plants attention, or anyone wanting try out tropical houseplants.
🌱 Peace Lilies like their soil to be consistently moist. However, just like with any plant, root rot is still possible. Soil should be damp but not drenched. Make sure the container has adequate drainage.
💧If you don’t trust yourself not to water too much, try watering from the bottom. Place a dish of water under the plant’s container and let it soak up the amount it needs. After a few minutes, remove the dish if there is still water in it. I regularly spray my peace lily plant with a water mister. The water evaporates off of the leaves and creates humidity.
🌞 Peace Lilies are often advertised as “low light” plants. In my experience, this is untrue. It’s true that Peace Lilies don’t like direct light, and their leaves can burn in too bright of sun. But when I’ve kept my Peace Lily in low light areas, it starts to brown and no longer flowers. Ideally this plant should have medium or indirect light.
