Know before you buy
While these plants prefer medium, indirect light, they are quite adaptable and will tolerate lower light environments. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves.
No, the Peace Lily is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to curious cats or dogs.
Yes, the Peace Lily is well-regarded for its air-purifying qualities. It was famously included in NASA's clean air study for its ability to help filter common indoor pollutants.
Since this plant arrives in a 4-inch pot, you should move it to a container that is only 1 to 2 inches larger in diameter. Using a pot that is too large can hold excess moisture and lead to root issues.
Peace Lilies are famously communicative; they will begin to droop noticeably when they are thirsty. Check the soil moisture regularly and water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
