Avoid Direct Sun: South- and west-facing windows can scorch leaves unless filtered through curtains or blinds.
Artificial Lighting: In fall and winter, when natural daylight shortens, peace lilies benefit from full-spectrum grow lights. Place the light 12–18 inches above the plant for 10–12 hours daily.
Rule of thumb: If you can comfortably read a book in the location during the day without turning on a lamp, it’s bright enough for your peace lily.
Temperature and Humidity: Mimicking the Tropics
Temperature Range: 65–85°F (18–29°C). Try to avoid dips below 60°F.
Humidity: Peace lilies love 50–70% humidity. Dry indoor air from heaters can cause brown leaf tips.
Boosting Humidity:
Place the pot on a pebble tray with water.
Mist leaves lightly (avoid flowers).
Use a humidifier for best results.
Soil and Potting Mix
Peace lilies need soil that balances moisture retention with aeration.
Best Mix:
2 parts peat moss or coco coir
1 part perlite
1 part orchid bark or coarse sand
This chunky mix prevents soggy soil while keeping roots moist.
