Care Guide:

  They will also thrive under artificial and grow lights (if they are placed minimum 60 inches above it.)

• Water: Peace lilies need consistently moist soil, but they definitely don't like to sit in standing water. Whenever the top inch of soil is dry, water the plant until the overflow starts to come out of the bottom of the container.

  As a rule of thumb water 50ml per 10cm of pot for this plant.

  This plant will handle British unfiltered tap water.

• Humidity: This plant does best in moderate humidity 40% - 60% RH is ideal.

• Temperature: This plant prefers moderate to high heat. 18c - 29c is ideal. Do not place the plant in near open windows in the Winter as temperatures below 7c will damage the roots and the leaves.
