Managing Peace Lily Flowers: When to Cut and How to Prolong Bloom Life

Flower Lifespan

Peace Lily flowers naturally last about a week before fading, wilting, or discoloring. This cannot be prevented.

Premature Wilting Causes

• Soil drying out enough to wilt the leaves.
• Exposure to cold drafts or temperatures.

Deadheading

Once flowers fade (turn green/brown), cut the stem off at the base where it emerges from the leaf stem.
