Native to tropical rainforests, peace lilies thrive in high humidity (50–60%).
Low humidity leads to brown leaf tips and fewer blooms.
Easy ways to increase humidity:
-
Place on a pebble tray with water
-
Group with other plants
-
Use a small humidifier
-
Mist the leaves occasionally (not a full substitute for humidity)
4. Feed It (But Don’t Overdo It)
Peace lilies benefit from light feeding to support flowering.
-
Use a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10 or 20-20-20)
-
Feed every 6–8 weeks during spring and summer
-
Stop feeding in fall and winter
Tip: Dilute to half-strength — peace lilies are sensitive to salt buildup.
5. Keep It Warm (No Cold Drafts!)
Ideal temperature range: 65–80°F (18–27°C)
-
Avoid cold windows, AC vents, or drafty doors
-
Cold stress = no flowering and possible leaf damage
Tip: Keep your peace lily away from drafts, especially in winter.
6. Repot When Root-Bound (But Not Too Soon)
