Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) Care for New Owners

Congratulations on your large peace lily! These forgiving plants thrive with basic care:

Light

Medium to bright indirect light. More light = more flowers. North or east window ideal. Avoid direct sun.

Water

Water when the plant looks slightly wilty—don't wait for total collapse. Keep soil evenly moist, never soggy. Drooping is a reliable signal; it recovers quickly if caught early.

Repotting

In a year, move to a 12-inch pot (only 2 inches larger). Oversized pots cause root rot. Refresh soil to replenish nutrients.

Flowering

White spathes appear with maturity and good light. Green spathes indicate aging blooms or hybrid reversion—normal.

Quick Tips

• Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust.
• Mist or use pebble tray for humidity.
• Fertilize monthly at half strength in spring/summer.

Your 10-inch pot plant is established—just maintain consistency.
