To thrive in summer, peace lilies (Spathiphyllum) may need extra attention. Here are some summer peace lily care tips:
Overwatering might damage peace lilies, which love wet soil. Due to increased evaporation, summer soil may dry out faster, so check moisture often and water when the top inch seems dry. To avoid waterlogging, drain the pot and dump the saucer.
Tropical peace lilies flourish under heavy humidity. In summer, when air conditioning makes indoor air drier, spritz your peace lily's leaves, place a tray of water and pebbles nearby, or use a humidifier.
Light: Peace lilies love indirect, strong light but may withstand low light. In summer, avoid direct sunlight on your peace lily to avoid leaf sunburn. It should be near a window with filtered sunlight or in a well-lit room away from direct sun.
Temperature: Peace lilies are sensitive to cold winds and temperature variations and prefer 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). In summer, keep your peace lily away from air conditioning vents and cold drafts.
Fertilizing: Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength to fertilize your peace lily monthly in spring and summer. Overfeeding can cause fertilizer burn, so follow product label guidelines.
Pruning: Remove yellow, damaged, or dead peace lily leaves frequently to encourage healthy growth and look. You can also remove wasted flowers to promote new growth.
These care suggestions will help your peace lily grow and decorate your indoor environment with its rich foliage and gorgeous flowers all summer.
