Proper Care Tips
To reap the health benefits of keeping a Peace Lily in your home, it's essential to take good care of it. Here are some tips for proper Peace Lily care:- Light: Peace Lilies prefer bright, indirect light but can also tolerate low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight as it can damage the leaves.
- Water: Water your Peace Lily once a week, keeping the soil moist but not soaking wet. Overwatering can cause root rot, while underwatering can lead to brown leaves.
- Temperature and Humidity: Peace Lilies prefer warm and humid environments, so try to keep them away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents.
- Fertilizer: Feed your Peace Lily with a balanced fertilizer every month during the growing season.
- Repotting: Repot your Peace Lily every 1-2 years to ensure proper growth and avoid root-bound plants.
