Spathiphyllum

Spathiphyllum, commonly known as Peace Lilies, make easy-growing, showy houseplants. They are tolerant of low light conditions and average humidity. They bloom mostly in the Summer, but will bloom throughout the year if kept in ideal conditions.

Peace Lily plants do well in low, medium or bright, indirect light. Too much light causes the leaves to fade and lose their dark green color. Too little light and they will not produce flowers. Direct sunlight will burn their leaves.

Allow the top 50% of the soil to dry out before watering. The leaves of a Peace Lily will severely droop, turn yellow and a blackish-brown if over-watered.

From Spring through Fall, feed monthly with a well- balanced plant food diluted to ½ the recommended strength. In Winter, feed every 6 weeks.

• Wipe the leaves with a soft cloth to remove dust and water spots.
• A Peace Lily should not be moved to the next size plant pot until the roots of the plant have almost filled the existing pot.
• A Peace Lily is on NASA’s list for a plant that cleans the air of harmful chemicals.
• Peace Lily plants are very poisonous. Keep these plants away from pets and small children.
