Education Corner: Taking Care of your Peace Lily
While our Plant of the Month is easy to care for, making sure that it is in the right growing conditions is key to it thriving. For January, we have consulted our designers on all of their tips and tricks for a thriving Peace Lily.
Tip 1) Lighting: Peace lilies prefer indirect light, and are also able to tolerate fluorescent lights. If the leaves on your Peace Lily begin to yellow, this can be an indicator that the light in the space is too strong for the plant. If you are placing it near a window, it is recommended that it be six to eight feet away from a North or West facing window.
Tip 2) Water: One of the great advantages to a Peace Lily is that it will tell you what it needs. If you notice the leaves sagging a bit on your Peace Lily, it means that it needs a drink. Generally, watering it once a week and keeping the soil moist (not soaked) is ideal for the Peace Lily.
Tip 3) Temperatures: The Peace Lily makes a fantastic house plant because it thrives in indoor temperatures. The ideal temperature they like to be kept in is 18 – 29 degrees Celsius ( or 65 – 85 degrees Fahrenheit).
