SPATHIPHYLLUM
INFO + CARE

Cultural information should only be used as a guide, and should be to be adapted to suit you. Your physical location; where you grow your plants, how much time you have to devote to their care, and many other factors, will need to be taken into account. Only then can you decide on the cultural methods that best suit you and your plants.

​

Best grown in evenly moist but not soggy soil. Let the soil dry between waterings, but do not allow to wilt. When watering, use water that is at room temperature and has been allowed to sit so that the chlorine can evaporate. Spathiphyllum grow very well with sub-irrigation. These plants do well in lower light situations, but prefer bright filtered light. Do not place in direct sun. When grown indoors, Spathiphyllum have very low fertility needs. Apply fertilizer at one quarter of the recommended strength. Over fertilizing can produce burning of tips and roots. Peace lilies enjoy warm conditions between 18-30°C during the day and a 10 degree drop at night. Cold, and drafty conditions in the between 12 - 5°C will slow growth considerably. Extended periods below 5°C can damage leaves, stems and roots. The plant requires a large pot and should be kept somewhat potbound. Repot if necessary in February or March.
