Peace Lily care at a glance
โ๏ธ Light
Tolerates low light โ a few feet from a north- or east-facing window, or a well-lit room without direct sun. Growth slows in low light, so it drinks less; water less often too.
๐ง Watering
As a rule of thumb, water about every 5 days โ but always let the top 2โ3 cm (1 inch) of soil dry out first. Use the calculator below to fine-tune for your light, season, pot size and humidity. Remember: overwatering, not underwatering, is the most common way houseplants die.
๐จ Humidity
Loves higher humidity (50%+). Group it with other plants, sit it on a pebble tray, or run a small humidifier, and keep it away from heating vents.
๐ฑ Difficulty
Beginner-friendly โ hard to kill and forgiving of the occasional missed watering. A great first houseplant.
