But even these hardy houseplants can be fussy about their care.
Tip
Ensuring consistently moist soil can help encourage peace lily blooms.
This means watering when the top inch of soil dries so that you don’t overwater the plant.

An overwatered plant may not flower as much as one that was kept consistently moist.
That’s true whether plants are indoor or outdoor.
Container material matters, too.
A terracotta pot wicks moisture away from the soil, drying it out more quickly.
Water Source
Tap water is perfectly fine to use on your plant.
However, peace lilies are notoriously sensitive to fluoride in water, which can cause theirtips to brown.
If your peace lily’sleaves are turning yellow, check the soil moisture.
Simply trim off the affected leaf at the base of the plant with clean, sharp scissors or shears.
Once again, check the soil moisture.
Wilting or drooping leaves are a common sign that your peace lily needs a good watering.
Another potential cause of a recently watered plant feeling bone dry is beingrootbound.
When the roots fill the pot, soil can’t absorb and hold water properly.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and examine the root ball.
Water well before and after repotting.
Once you’re on a regular watering schedule, your peace lily should begin to thrive.
Peace lilies need about two to four hours of sunlight per day.
Misting can be beneficial for a peace lily since they are tropical plants that love high humidity.
Mist every few days (and more frequently in the summer).
