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.
