Plant Care Guides / Indoor / Easy Care
The peace lily is one of the most reliable indoor plants you can own. It produces elegant white spathes above a mound of dark, glossy leaves, and it flowers willingly in surprisingly low light, which most other flowering plants refuse to do. This covers the standard varieties as well as the larger Sensation and compact Bolera forms.
The peace lily tells you when it is thirsty. The leaves droop dramatically, and a good watering brings them back upright within hours. It is also one of the best plants for cleaning indoor air.
Low to bright, indirect light. It is one of the few flowering plants that performs well in shade, which makes it ideal for bathrooms, offices and rooms that do not get strong natural light. Keep it out of direct sun, which scorches the leaves.
Keep the soil lightly moist through the growing season, but never waterlogged. In winter, let the top layer dry out before watering. It appreciates humidity, a bathroom suits it well, and it benefits from an occasional mist in dry weather.
Feed every two to four weeks through spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser to encourage flowering.
Repot when it becomes root-bound, roughly every one to two years. Use a rich, well-draining potting mix. A slightly snug pot encourages flowering.
