Peace lily plant in 4 inch orchid square pot

The Peace Lily (scientific name: Spathiphyllum) is a popular indoor houseplant known for its glossy green leaves and elegant white blooms.

Basic Care

• Light: Bright, indirect light is best. It can tolerate lower light but may flower less.

• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity.
• Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C).
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix.

Common Issues

• Drooping leaves: Usually thirsty; water the plant.
• Yellow leaves: Often caused by overwatering.
• Brown leaf tips: Low humidity, fluoride in tap water, or fertilizer buildup.
• No flowers: Usually due to insufficient light.

Benefits

• Attractive, easy-to-grow houseplant.
• Tolerates indoor conditions well.
• Produces striking white spathes that resemble flowers.

Peace lilies are toxic to cats and dogs if chewed or ingested and can cause mouth irritation and drooling. Keep them out of reach of pets and small children.
