Light Requirements

Peace Lilies will gently droop when thirsty — a helpful signal for busy plant owners.

Avoid overwatering, as soggy soil can cause root rot.


Soil & Potting

Slightly root-bound plants often bloom more reliably.

With proper care, Peace Lilies can flower for many weeks at a time.
