3. Water Thoroughly and Evenly
When you water, do so thoroughly until water begins to drain from the bottom of the pot. This ensures that the entire root system is adequately hydrated. Avoid watering sparsely or just on the surface, as this can lead to poor root growth and overall plant stress.
4. Maintain Proper Drainage
Peace lilies are sensitive to waterlogged soil, which can cause root rot. Make sure your pot has adequate drainage holes and consider using a well-draining potting mix. If the potting soil retains too much moisture, it can create an ideal environment for root diseases.
5. Adjust for Seasonal Changes
Your peace lily’s watering needs will change with the seasons. During the growing season (spring and summer), it may require more frequent watering. In the dormant period (fall and winter), you can reduce the frequency. Always rely on the soil check method to assess its real-time needs.
