What to do when peace lily leaves turn yellow? Grow them this way and the leaves will be lush and green

The peace lily's leaves stay evergreen all year round, and it blooms small pure white flowers, giving a fresh and natural feeling, which is why it is so well loved. The peace lilies seen at the flower market are all full of life, but after buying one and growing it at home for a while, its leaves turn yellow. In fact, there are many reasons for yellowing leaves, so let's analyze them below.

Water

The peace lily likes a moist environment, but watering too much can cause water to accumulate in the soil, so the roots cannot breathe well, which makes the leaves turn yellow. Some flower lovers also fail to water thoroughly over a long period, which likewise makes the leaves turn yellow, and the new leaves lose all their gloss. So when watering, follow the principle of "don't water until dry, and water thoroughly when you do," and in dry summer weather spray the leaves with some clean water.

Light

The peace lily by nature dislikes direct strong light and is fairly shade tolerant, so if it is exposed to direct strong light while being grown, its leaves will wither, and the leaves facing the sun will have some spots on them. So when growing a peace lily, apart from giving it plenty of light in winter, in the other seasons it needs to be shaded a little.

Fertilizing

The peace lily by nature dislikes fertilizer. If it is given too much fertilizer, the peace lily's old leaves will turn yellow and fall off, and the newly grown leaves will be rather thick and uneven. In that case we need to water the peace lily several more times, and water thoroughly, so the nutrients will flow out with the water.

Soil

The peace lily by nature likes acidic soil. If the soil's pH is too high, the leaves will gradually turn yellow and eventually just fall off. So when growing it, it is best to water it with well-fermented rice washing water, once every half a month, which can lower the soil's pH.
