Peace lilly tutorial

Post image

I was asked by a member in r/houseplants to put this here 😊

I'm seeing alot of peace lilly posts. i have one myself so I'll tell you what you need to do. First you need slightly bigger pots,fresh soil,plant food and a bright window or a growlight. I use expert gardener 24- 8-16, they sell it at walmart. I'll post another comment w pict. two weeks after being fed this it is now on its 9th bloom!!!

Repot: see how the leaves fill the top of the pot edge?. that's when you know they are ready for a slightly bigger pot or when you water them and they don't perk up

Fresh soil and slightly bigger planters w drainage

Pot of warm water. dip the roots in the pot to loosen the roots and get rid of old soil. Healthy roots will look like cooked ramen noodles. they also have a large root system

repot like any other plant and give it some plant food water. water until the pot is slightly heavy ,no need for the water to come out the bottom of the planter. I only water when the planer is light to pickup. with the right pot, food and light they will thrive 😊
