Peace Lily Brown Tips: Water by Weight, Mist, Fertilize Monthly

"Proper Watering" Is Often the Problem

Peace lilies (Spathiphyllum) show tip burn from inconsistent moisture, low humidity, or salt buildup.

Better Watering Method

1. Learn the pot's weight when fully watered vs. ready for water.
2. Or: Set in saucer of water 10–15 min, drain excess.
3. Don't water on a schedule—use weight/soil color.

Humidity & Nutrition

• Mist foliage 1–2×/week.
• Fertilize monthly in growing season (balanced, dilute).
• Remove yellow leaves at base.
• Bright indirect light; no direct sun except gentle morning.
• Rotate ¼ turn weekly for even growth.

Mother Nature doesn't water on a calendar—neither should you.
