Meet your new favorite houseplant, the Spathiphyllum 'Peace Lily'! This evergreen perennial is a popular flowering houseplant native to tropical Southeastern Asia. Also a known air purifier, this plant is a great addition to any office, home, or desk space as it is easy to care for and doesn't require too much sunlight. The Peace lily will reward you with a beautiful folded flower a few times each year.

Granny's Care Instructions:

• Lighting: This plant loves bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. Direct sunlight can cause the leaves to become scorched, so east or west-facing windows are ideal.
• Watering: Water your Peace lily when the soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so make sure not to waterlogged the soil. In the summer months, you may need to water more frequently, but in the winter, once a week should suffice.
• Humidity: This plant thrives in humid environments, typically above 50% relative humidity. You can increase the humidity around your plant by placing it on a tray filled with water and pebbles or using a humidifier.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent waterlogged soil. A mix specifically designed for tropical plants would be perfect.
• Fertilizer: Feed your Peace lily with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength to avoid burning the roots.
• Temperature: Keep your plant in an area with a consistent temperature between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid placing it near heating or cooling vents, fireplaces, or drafty windows.

By following these care instructions, you'll be enjoying the beauty and benefits of your Peace lily in no time!
