Peace lilies love bright, indirect sunlight. Keep them near a window but away from harsh rays to avoid scorched leaves or fading blooms

Let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings. Overwatering leads to root rot, while under-watering causes drooping, stress

A mix that drains well prevents soggy roots. Add perlite or orchid bark to standard soil to keep moisture levels balanced and healthy

Peace lilies thrive in humidity. Mist the leaves regularly or place a tray of water nearby to boost moisture in dry indoor air

Gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks. Clean leaves photosynthesize better and stay healthier in indoor environments
