🌿 1. About the Plant
- Botanical name: Spathiphyllum wallisii
- Common names: Peace Lily, White Sails, Cobra Plant
- Type: Tropical indoor flowering plant
- Origin: Central & South America
- Height: 1–3 feet tall
- Feature: Glossy leaves + white spathe flowers
🌞 2. Light Requirements
- Grows best in bright, indirect light.
- Can tolerate low light, but will flower less.
- Avoid harsh, direct sunlight — it burns leaves.
✅ Best spot: Near an east or north-facing window.
💡 Tip: If leaves droop or turn pale, it’s getting too little light.
🌾 3. Soil
- Prefers loose, well-draining, fertile soil.
- Ideal mix for pots:
👉 1 part garden soil + 1 part coco peat + 1 part compost + a little sand or perlite. - Keep soil slightly moist, never soggy.
💧 4. Watering
- Peace Lilies like moisture but not waterlogging.
- Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
- In warm months: about 2–3 times a week.
- In winter: once a week is often enough.
💧 If the leaves droop — it’s a sign your plant needs water (they’ll perk back up quickly!).
🚫 Avoid tap water with chlorine — use filtered or overnight-settled water if possible.
💨 5. Humidity & Temperature
- Loves high humidity and warm temperatures (18–30°C).
- Mist leaves occasionally, especially in dry rooms.
- Keep away from cold drafts or direct AC airflow.
🍀 6. Fertilizing
- Feed lightly every 4–6 weeks during growing season (spring to autumn).
- Use a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer (10-10-10) at half strength.
- Stop feeding in winter (dormant season).
🌸 7. Flowering
- Peace Lilies produce white “flowers” (actually spathes) that can last for several weeks.
- Blooming is best in bright, filtered light.
- After the flower fades, cut the stalk near the base to encourage new ones.
✂️ 8. Pruning & Cleaning
- Remove yellow or brown leaves regularly.
- Wipe leaves with a damp cloth every 1–2 weeks to remove dust (helps them breathe better).
🪴 9. Repotting
- Repot every 1–2 years in spring when roots start coming out of the drainage holes.
- Use fresh soil and a pot one size larger.
