3. Specific cultivation techniques for the peace lily
1. Soil: Potted peace lilies require loose soil with good drainage and aeration, and heavy clay soil must not be used. Generally, leaf mold, peat soil mixed with a small amount of perlite can be used to prepare the growing medium, and when planting, a small amount of organic fertilizer should be added as a base fertilizer.
2. Watering: During the growth period, the peace lily should be kept with its potting soil moist at all times, but it must not be watered too much. If watered too much, the potting soil will remain wet for a long time, which easily causes root rot and yellowed, withered plants.
3. Fertilizing: When fertilizing a peace lily, do not apply concentrated fertilizer or raw fertilizer, and after applying solid fertilizer, water once with clear water. It is best to use dilute fertilizer water instead of clear water for watering, as this generally will not cause fertilizer burn, and the peace lily will grow very lushly.
In addition, attention should also be paid to repotting the peace lily, pruning the root system, and so on, generally repotting once every 1-2 years.
