Tips to Grow Peace Lily

  1. Arrange good quality peace lily rhizomes.
  2. The soil should be evenly moist, but not wet or soggy. You can mix in peat moss for best results which will help give good moisture retention.
  3. Plant the rhizome into the soil facing upward. When your plant’s roots show or your peace lily seems to be drinking up all its water within a few days, re-pot it.
  4. Most often, if no flowers are appearing, the plant is not getting enough light. Peace lilies are very tolerant of low light, but low light does not mean no light! To encourage flowering, move the plant to a brighter location, where it will receive bright, indirect light.
  5. All parts of the peace lily plant contain calcium oxalate, a substance that may cause stomach and respiratory irritation if ingested in large amounts. 

Note: Keep peace lilies out of reach of small children and pets.
