Growing under Lights

Peace Lilly

16 years ago

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and is new to the peace lilly house plant.I now have 3. My mother-in-law passed away last week and the peace lilly is the flower to give. Beautiful plant but I can't grow grass so I am looking for any helpful ideas on how to keep these plants green and beautiful for more than a week.

Thanks.

Indirect bright light, think comfortable to read with, good draining soil with watering when the leaves go slightly limp and feed it once a month.

Don't let it dry out (I think) and don't stick it in the dark. They also like a good misting once in a while. I stick mine in the shower for 15 minutes every few weeks too. (cool water, not hot or cold)
