Ways to Take Care of Indoor Lily

Light

Place your peace lily in bright, indirect light. They can tolerate lower light conditions but will not bloom as well. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves

Watering

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. 

Humidity

Peace lilies appreciate higher humidity levels. Mist the plant regularly or place a humidity tray nearby. Dry indoor air can lead to brown leaf tips.

Temperature

Maintain a temperature range of 65-80°F (18-27°C). Peace lilies are sensitive to cold drafts, so avoid placing them near doors or windows during the winter.

Fertilizing

Feed your peace lily with a balanced, liquid fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall.

Repotting

Repot your peace lily every 1-2 years if it becomes root-bound or starts to outgrow its pot. Use a slightly larger container with well-draining potting mix.

Pruning

Remove yellow or brown leaves and spent blooms to encourage new growth. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears

Pest and disease control

Peace lilies are relatively pest-resistant, but watch for common indoor pests like spider mites or mealybugs. Treat any infestations promptly with neem oil.

Propagation

You can propagate peace lilies by dividing mature plants during repotting. Ensure that each division has both roots and leaves.
