How do you care for a peace lily plant?

Answer 1

According to my Pictorial Guide to House Plants:

1. KEEP THEM OUT OF DIRECT SUN! They tolerate low and do well in mid light conditions.

2. They like average to warm temperature (70-80oF, with 55-85oF being the outer limits).

3. They should have moist soil when they're growing and flowering. You can let the soil dry out some between waterings when they're in a slow growth period. A little bit of "benign neglect" won't hurt them.

4. They tolerate low humidity, and prefer relative humidity of 30% or more.

5. They like an indoor mix of soil that is humusy and drains well. You can coarse the soil up a bit, using fir bark or chopped osmuda fibers, if they're growing in a large container.

6. If they need repotting, do so in the spring.

7. During growth periods, fertilize every one or two months, using half the recommended strength.

8. You can clean the leaves by either washing them in lukewarm water or wiping them with a soft, damp cloth.

9. Trim off dead blooms and yellowing leaves. If there is fluoride in the water or soil, it could damage the edges of the leaves.

Provide sufficient Water to your peace lily regularly.Place it in a cooler, more shaded area instead of direct sunlight, which can quickly damage the leaves.

Answer 2

Calla lilies are easy to care for. Calla lilies grow best in loose, well-drained soil in full or partial shade. Calla lilies should be planted in spring, when all danger of frost has passed. Calla lilies should be kept moist and fed fertilizer once a month.

Answer 3

Peace Lily plants need a lot of water, but it lets you know when it is "thirsty" It will usually start to sag when it needs to be watered. To avoid overwatering (which will kill it!!), ensure the soil is dry (by touch) before you water it again.

Answer 4

No. The peace lily (spathephylium) while a jungle plant, does not need to be misted. In fact, it can encourage mold to grow in the dense crown of the plant.
