Shows you step by step how to grow flowers
The peace lily, also known as the "smooth sailing" plant, is fairly easy to grow and is a classic lazy person's flower. Just water it once in a while and it will keep on living, but if you want to grow it well, you need to put in some thought. The peace lily can remove formaldehyde and other harmful gases and purify the air. It is quite good to keep indoors. The peace lily blooms from May to August. Its flowering period is fairly long. Here is a brief explanation of how the peace lily should be grown.

Temperature
The peace lily has fairly high temperature requirements. The suitable growing temperature is 20-30 degrees, and in winter especially the temperature must stay above 14°C. If the temperature drops below ten degrees, its leaves are prone to cold damage. Be sure to place it in a fairly warm spot.

Soil
The peace lily has a fairly developed root system, and it is also fairly strict about soil. When mixing soil for it, it is best to use fertile soil rich in humus. Also try to keep it loose and airy. Because it grows very fast. If the soil becomes compacted, it will hinder its roots from reaching deep and affect root growth. We can use leaf mold or peat soil, mixed with river sand or perlite and the like. Keeping the soil permeable and not letting it become waterlogged is quite good.

Light
Light is very important for any plant. Although the peace lily is fairly shade-tolerant, during its growing season it needs plenty of light. In summer, never expose it to scorching sun; give it about 70% shade. In the other seasons, be sure to place it in a spot with very abundant light, so it can grow well. And grow fast.

Watering and humidity
The peace lily likes high temperatures and high humidity. It has very high requirements for air humidity. During the growing season, keep the air humidity at around 80% as much as possible, so it can grow normally. If the air is too dry, its leaf edges or leaf tips will dry out. During its growing season, we must keep the potting soil moist, but not let it become waterlogged. Too much watering, potting soil staying too wet for a long time, or water accumulating in the saucer can easily cause root rot. This will cause the plant's leaves to turn yellow and withered. In severe cases, the leaves will rot and wither.

Fertilizing
During the peace lily's growing season, give it fertilizer twice a month as a supplement, but be sure to remember not to use strong fertilizer or unfermented fertilizer. You can also use fertilizer you fermented yourself, adding a little each time you water. Using it this way instead of plain water is quite good. It can also make it grow very lush and bloom a lot. During the flowering season, use mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. During the growing season, use a mixed fertilizer or one mainly high in nitrogen and potassium.
