Spathiphyllum "Peace Lily", Cast Iron Plant
Peace lilies medium to bright indirect light (near a window or grow light), but can grow in lower light conditions. They can get a couple of hours of exposure to the morning sun, but avoid windows where the afternoon sun beats in.
Water every 2 weeks, or when the plant feels light and the soil is mostly dry. When your Peace Lily is getting thirsty, you will know. They are incredibly dramatic and the leaves will flop over - they should bounce back within a day of watering. When watering from the top, water until it flows quickly through the holes in the bottom of the plastic pot. If watering with a saucer, discard any water that accumulates. Make sure not to water too often - this is a cause of root rot and can kill your plant!
Humidity not required! They are incredibly comfortable under typical household conditions.
They prefer temperatures between 60-80 degrees. Try to avoid drafts and drastic or sudden temperature changes!
Fertilize monthly with a mix diluted to 50% during the growing season (Spring and Summer). Our favorite is Liqui-Dirt (not sponsored!) which you can use each time you water with no dilution.
These plants are pet-friendly and non-toxic!
