Peace Lily Plant Care
Here are a few additional tips to keep your Peace Lily healthy and thriving:
1. Maintain Indirect Light
Peace Lily prefer bright, indirect light.

3. Dust Leaves Regularly
Clean the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust.

5. Repot When Necessary
Repot your Peace Lily every 1–2 years or when it becomes root-bound.
- Use a pot that is 1–2 inches larger in diameter than the current one.
