It's no secret that well taken care for plants develop quicker. This is true of the peace lily, which may grow really rapidly and up to one meter in height. Indoors, under light or shade, the spathiphyllum adjusts and flourishes independent of the season. Changing sun and shade, however, will help the leaves stay from drying out and encourage their development. Its blossoming is most plentiful also between May and October. These pointers will enable you to keep it.
Each year I repot.
Every year and more particularly in April, before it develops, the spathiphyllum should be repotted. Once grownup, it is enough to create a surface by essentially substituting more or less 4 cm's top layer of dirt. Monthly addition of certain fertilizing green plants will be a benefit in spring. Repotting allows you to provide drainage to the pot's bottom as well. This will help to absorb more irrigation water.
Track the leaves.
The peace lily enjoys humidity, same as other tropical plants. It might so happen that it withers in the protracted absence of water. In this situation, it is sufficient to water it to enable natural straightening of its leaf. Nevertheless, the plant may wither and dry out without water for many weeks. In this instance, to revive the pot, it would be prudent to set it in a tray loaded with water for many hours. And as any skilled gardener would counsel you, you will have to routinely cut off dead leaves.
