🌿 Light
Peace Lilies prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. They can also tolerate lower light, although they may produce fewer flowers.
💧 Watering
Water the plant when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry.
- Keep the soil slightly moist but never soggy.
- Empty excess water from the saucer.
- Drooping leaves usually mean the plant needs water, but they quickly recover after watering.
🌱 Best Soil
Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter.
A good mix is:
- 60% quality potting soil
- 20% coco peat
- 20% perlite or coarse sand
🌡️ Temperature & Humidity
Peace Lilies grow best in temperatures between 18–30°C.
They enjoy moderate to high humidity. Mist the leaves occasionally or place the pot on a pebble tray filled with water.
🌼 Fertilizer
Feed once every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength.
Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can cause brown leaf tips.
🍂 Common Problems
Yellow Leaves
- Overwatering
- Poor drainage
- Old leaves naturally dying
Brown Leaf Tips
- Low humidity
- Too much fertilizer
- Chemicals in tap water
No Flowers
- Not enough bright indirect light

Drooping Leaves
Usually caused by lack of water. Water thoroughly, and the leaves often recover within a few hours.
✂️ Pruning
Remove yellow or damaged leaves by cutting them at the base. Trim faded flowers to encourage healthy new growth.
🪴 Repotting
Repot every 1–2 years, preferably in spring, using a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
🌿 Propagation
Peace Lilies are best propagated by dividing mature plants during repotting. Each division should have healthy roots and several leaves.
