Peace Lily Care

Water generously in the spring, summer, and during flowering, a few days after the top layer of soil had dried. Water less in the winter, and the soil shouldn’t be dried out. Excessive watering might cause spathiphyllum to die. Inadequate watering makes the leaves fade and can cause black stains on the foliage.
Spathiphyllum should be sprayed regularly in the home. It is preferable to set the plant's container on a tray of moist expanding clay or stones. However, the drops should not fall on the flowers.

With an annual replanting, hygienic pruning-cleaning of old dead pieces is necessary. This method renews and rejuvenates the bush, promoting free and complete growth.
Pruning is particularly crucial for old bushes that have been in the same pot for more than 2-3 years.

Mineral fertilizers for flowering plants must be applied at room temperature from the beginning of spring until fall. The concentration is reduced to one and a half grams of fertilizer per liter of water.

The plant prefers low to bright indirect sunlight. Its leaves are constantly drawn to light, yet Peace Lily does not tolerate direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to bright direct sunlight may burn and scorch their leaves and dry out their flowers.
As a result, the greatest place to grow spathiphyllum is on the window sills facing north. In all other circumstances, the plant is put on shelves, furniture, or even the floor, saving the leaves from possible sunburns.

This flower prefers light, loose, and permeable soils. You can use aroid-specific options or choose a universal potting mix.

Cuttings root quickly in damp sand. The temperature in the room should not be lower than 72°F (22°C). When the cuttings have taken root, they are transferred into pots of peat, leaves, sod, and sand (2:2:1:1).
Spathiphyllum may also be propagated by splitting the root when transplanting in the spring.

In the spring and summer, the temperature should be at least 65°F (18°C), and it is preferable to keep it around 72°F (22°C). Temperatures should not fall below 60°F (16 °C) in winter and autumn, as this causes a growth slowdown. Indoor spathiphyllum may rot and die if the temperature falls below 50°F (10°C). The plant is sensitive to drafts.

The best option is a low and fairly cramped pot, 1–1.5 cm larger than the root system. Under such conditions, the plant will not waste energy filling the entire volume with roots.

Peace Lilies are regarded as a symbol of peace: the white flower is the emblem of the white flag, which is recognized worldwide as a signal of truce.
