I keep my peace lilies consistently wet, and they love it! I never let mine dry out because they tend to get sad when I do. I would reccomend bottom watering them, so it's easier to keep them wet all the time! Also, if you have a corner of your house that is dark and nothing will survive there, peace lilies will! I have all mine in dark places (obviously still getting light) and they're very happy.
Just thought I'd share my experiences with this cool plant!

I have a Piece Lily which is 43 years old! It's has been split many times and most family members have received baby plants. It has rewarded us with beautiful flowers every year❤, sometimes flowering twice or more.❤

thank you so much for this video. I received this plant after the death of our mother. Your video gave us great information on how to keep it alive and healthy.

I left my peace lily with my mother when I went to college. Went home 2 months in and needless to say I’ve have taken it back. Now I’m trying to bring it back

I got two peace Lilly's last year and they won't stop growing absolutely huge! Beautiful plant

[ronaprescott]

Got a beautiful one for Mother’s Day. Praying I keep it alive.

[paulmcwilliams]

I have one and it must be the most abused plant on the planet, how it clings on to life is a mystery.

Thanks for the cold water tip I was wondering if warm water was best!
I bought my Granny a Peace Lily years back and she’s recently passed so I rescued it and I want so badly to keep it alive. It would meant the world to me.

I live in Colorado, near the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. I bought a huge spathiphyllum two years ago, I live in low light (a basement) with two tiny windows, but they provide sun for part of the day. My plant is lovely and green. I keep the soil moist. I cut back several of the old leaves, occasionally. I appreciate your advice!

Hello from Canada.
I just bought two of them today. They look lovely. Hopefully I’ll be able to keep them healthy.

I'm a new plant mom and lily started wilting today, I touched the soil and it was bone dry. I watered it and let it drain and it went right back to attention

[iedenchannel]

Great video! I just rescued my friend's Peace Lily and it looks great

[johnkeepin]

It’s good advice. I’ve got quite a few of them, but I only ever bought one. Sometimes in Spring, I split the roots and pot them on in fresh compost, so they have been growing that way for a while.

What you didn’t mention was the beautiful scent they have early in the morning, as the light level increases.

I just rec'd tis morning and prayed Water into it and aftr 15mins, She Princess Peace Lily decorated My House into Botanical Garden spread wth Leaves, MashaAllah She is Too Sweet

[ThatGardener]

Nice video. Peace lily is such an easy one they keep growing and need very little love. It’s almost impossible to kill them.

[ashkanahmadi]

It's strange that he said let it dry out before watering. I've always heard it shouldn't dry out and the soil must always be kept moist

[dhiyaarora]

Thank you so much for such an informative video. 🙏🏽😃 I love my peace lily and I was wondering about a few things (watering/climate) that you kindly addressed.

[maxharrow]

I was waiting for tips on tiding/pruning and what to do when the plant doesn't look healthy !!
