How to Care for the Plant

Water
Peace Lilies (Spathiphyllum) prefers an evenly moist environment. For plants grown in soil, drainage is important; your peace lily pot should have drain holes. Watering your peace lily once a week is usually sufficient.
Pruning
You should prune your indoor peace lilies when the blossoms fade and wilt, or if the plants have overgrown and are taking up too much space. Pruning off dead flowers and leaves usually helps reduce the space the plants take up. You can also cut back the plant when the old foliage is yellowing and wilting.
Fertilizer
Fertilize every other month when a Spathiphyllum Cannifolium is actively growing with a basic houseplant food diluted to 1/2 the recommended strength.
