Light
Prefers bright, indirect light.
Can tolerate lower light conditions but may have reduced variegation and slower growth.
Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Reduce watering in the winter when the plant’s growth slows down.
Peace Lilies are sensitive to overwatering, so ensure proper drainage.
Humidity
Thrives in high humidity levels (50-70%).
Benefits from regular misting or using a humidifier, especially in dry indoor conditions.
Placing the plant on a humidity tray can help maintain adequate moisture levels.
Temperature
Ideal temperature range: 18-27°C.
Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C.
Prefers stable, warm temperatures for optimal growth.
Soil
Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.
A mix of peat, perlite, and compost works well.
Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
Fertilisation
Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
Avoid over-fertilising, which can lead to salt build-up and leaf burn.
Repotting
Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound.
Choose a pot that is one size larger and has good drainage.
Refresh the soil during repotting to provide new nutrients.
Pruning
Prune to remove any yellow or dead leaves to maintain plant health and appearance.
Remove spent flower spikes to encourage new blooms and a tidy look.
Trim back any leggy or overgrown stems to maintain a compact shape.
Pests
Watch for common pests such as spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids.
Regularly inspect the plant and treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Maintain good air circulation around the plant to help prevent pest issues.
Propagation
Easily propagated through division.
Divide the plant during repotting, ensuring each section has roots and a few stems.
Replant divisions in separate pots with fresh, well-draining soil.
