2. SOME PICTURES OF PEACE LILY 3. POTTING Peace Lilies will flourish in almost any well drained soil. Most growers use a mixture containing peat moss, bark and sand. 4. DESCRIPTION 5. WATERING oPeace Lilies can be thirsty plants.They let you know quickly when they are thirsty by a noticeably droop in the foliage.They'll bounce back quickly once watered. o Depending on the indoor environmentwatering should be weekly. 6. OVER-WATERING is one reason many people do not have success with plants indoors Although itsbest to not have your Peace Lily dry out, they can be very helpful in teaching us how much time can go by between waterings . 7. LIGHT Peace Lilies will survive low interior light but would prefer bright filtered light. Peace Lilieshave been used by interior plantscapers for many years as a ground cover where the light is verylow. Peace Lilies should NOT be placed in direc sun or they will sunburn 8. FERTILIZER When grown indoors Peace Lilies have most no need to be fertilized If you must fertilize, any well balanced fertilizer will maintain growth. Pelleted fertilizers also work - read instructions carefully. Indoors plantsgrow slower and therefore have lower requirements for food. Over fertilizing can produce burning of tips and roots. 9. TEMPERATURE Peace Lilies enjoy warm conditions between 20-30 C daytimetemperature and prefer and 7 degree drop at night time. Cold, and draftiy conditions less than about 15 will slow growth considerably. Extended periods below 5 can damage leaves, stems and roots. 10. HUMIDITY AND AIR CIRCULATIONHumidity above 25-30% is best but will tolerate long periods down to10-15%. 11. PEST AND DISEASE.CONT.. One of the great benefits of using Peace Liliesinside is that they have few pest problems. Mealy bugs are probably the most common insect indoors. Most problems occur on the growing end when liners are first planted. Root and stem diseases are the most common problem and this is usually associated with over watering. 12. PEST AND DISEASE Because of the wide leaves that most Peace Lilies have, cleaning the leaves regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust will help not only in appearance but also in removing of some pest which tend to gather under the bottom of leaves. 13.
