Peace Lily Care

Peace Lilies are perfect for beginners who want a flowering houseplant. They’re very communicative - drooping dramatically when thirsty and perking up quickly after watering.

Basic Care

Light: Tolerates low light but blooms better in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun.

Water: Keep soil consistently moist. Peace lilies will droop when thirsty, making it easy to know when to water.

Humidity: Loves high humidity. Brown tips often indicate dry air.

Flowers: White spathes appear throughout the year in proper conditions.
