Peace Lily

Do not overwater your Peace Lily as this can cause the plant’s leaves to yellow.

Groom your plants weekly to keep them trimmed and healthy. You can wipe the Peace Lily leaves with a damp soft cloth to remove the dust which tends to build up on them.

Fertilize with Miracle Gro Bloom Booster once every two weeks when in bloom. During the rest period, fertilize with Miracle Gro All Purpose once every two weeks.

Garden (Peggy Chin)Repot your Peace Lily at least once or twice per year. Trim off some of the older leaves and excess roots. If the clusters are too large, try dividing it into two plants.

This popular house plant is also an air purifier. In 2007, it was awarded ‘Best Desktop Plant’.

Peace Lilies can be found in hotels, bank foyers, churches, offices and malls massed together in clusters.

The upright white flowers bear several at a time and last as long as two weeks .

Plants are available at most plant nurseries.

Until next week, happy gardening.
