Peace lily indoor plant care

Overview

Maintaining healthy peace lilies (Spathiphyllum) involves specific soil, light, and watering management. To prevent waterlogging and root rot, experts recommend using well-draining soil and allowing it to dry out between waterings. Because these plants thrive in shade or low light, they should be protected from direct sunlight to avoid leaf burn.

As seasonal conditions change, care routines must be adjusted. During the transition into winter, Spathiphyllum requires specific adjustments due to its sensitivity to dropping temperatures and changing light. It is recommended to move plants to locations with bright, indirect light, such as east or west-facing windows, while ensuring they are protected from drafts and heating air. Maintaining a room temperature between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius is ideal, as temperatures below 15 degrees can cause permanent damage.

Watering habits must also change as the plant grows more slowly in winter. It requires less water, and the soil should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings. Using lime-free, room-temperature water and spraying leaves to increase humidity is also recommended. Additionally, nutrient intake should be reduced as the plant enters its dormant phase. Owners should continue to monitor for signs of distress, such as widespread yellowing, limp stems, or brown tips. If yellow leaves appear, they should be removed near the crown with clean scissors. Note that the ASPCA classifies peace lilies as toxic to animals, so they should be kept out of reach of pets.
