Grow Healthy And Thriving Peace Lilies With These Tips
By Megan Brame
Hydroponics
Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil. Some people prefer hydroponics for their lilies because it lets you reuse materials and saves water.
Specialty Soil
If you really want it to flourish with little work, then skip the budget soil blends and go for an easy-to-water mix like Miracle-Gro Indoor Potting Soil from Lowe's.
Air Vents
Peace lillies originally come from the tropical rainforests of Central America and Colombia, so they're not great with drafts or bursts of cold air.
Damp Cloth
Giving your plants a regular wipe can help you disrupt any new pest colonies, especially if you remember to wipe the undersides of the leaves, where they like to live.
Snug Pot
Use the original pot for the first year or tw, then use a pot slightly larger than the current one. Peace lilies prefer to be a little more potbound than not.
