Peace Lily

Peace Lily (Spatiphyllum - Salvia): A Symbol of Peace and Health

Peace lily (Spathiphyllum), also known as sail flower, is a tropical plant that brings tranquility to homes and offices with its elegant white flowers and dark green leaves. It gets its name from the resemblance of its white flowers to a symbol of peace. Included in NASA's clean air research, where it helps remove harmful substances like formaldehyde, benzene, and carbon monoxide from the air, the peace lily is both a decorative and functional choice. At Heryerbitki, we offer potted peace lily options in various sizes and varieties with same-day delivery guaranteed to all 81 provinces .

How to Care for a Peace Lily?

Peace lily care is quite easy, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced plant owners. With proper care, it can live for 3-5 years or more, and with regular attention, it will continue to bloom for a long time.

• Light: It prefers bright but indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves. North or east-facing windows are ideal.
• Watering: Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. Generally, 1-2 times a week is sufficient. Reduce watering frequency in winter. Avoid overwatering — this can cause root rot.
• Temperature: 18-28°C is ideal. Keep away from drafts and air conditioning.
• Humidity: It prefers high humidity. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth or spray them with water once a week.
• Soil: Use a well-drained soil mix rich in organic matter.
• Fertilizer: Apply liquid plant fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.

If your peace lily leaves are turning yellow, it could be due to overwatering; if they're turning brown, it could be due to low humidity or direct sunlight. Browse our potted plant collection to discover plants with different care needs.

Why do the tips of peace lily leaves dry out?

One of the most common problems peace lily growers face is the drying out of the leaf tips.

• Low humidity: Dry air causes the leaf tips to dry out. Regularly spraying the leaves with water or using a humidifier solves the problem.
• Overwatering: Root rot leads to browning of the leaf tips. Make sure the pot has a drainage hole at the bottom.
• Direct sun: Direct sunlight will burn the leaves. Move your plant to a semi-shaded area.
• Chlorine and minerals: Chlorine in tap water can dry out leaf tips. It's beneficial to let the water sit overnight before using it.

How to Revive a Peace Lily?

You can revive your wilted or yellowed peace lily in a few steps:

• Check the irrigation schedule — if the soil is completely dry, water deeply.
• Move it to a location that receives bright but indirect light.
• Spray the leaves with water and wipe away any dust with a damp cloth.
• Strengthen their roots by adding liquid plant fertilizer.
• Trim any yellowed leaves from the base — this directs the plant's energy to healthy leaves.
