How to Care for the Plant

Water
The best way to water a peace lily is to set the plant in the sink. pour water slowly onto the soil until liquid drips through the bottom of the pot. let the plant drain thoroughly, then return it to its drainage saucer. never let the plant sit in water, as disease caused by excess water is the number one reason for houseplant death.
Pruning
Lily flowers should be removed as soon as they fade. Blooms left in place will produce seed, which diverts energy from flower production and plant growth. The flowers can be cut or pinched off. Alternatively, cut the stalks when the blooms first open and use them in floral arrangements.
Fertilizer
Feed lilies when they come into flower. Lilies are heavy feeders. As they come into flower, feed them with a high-potassium liquid fertiliser – such as tomato feed – every two weeks. Continue feeding lilies after they have finished flowering to help the bulbs grow and ensure a good display the following year.
