Water Every 5-7 Days Peace lilies typically need watering once a week, but frequency may vary based on temperature, humidity, and pot size.
Check the Soil First Before watering, feel the top 1-2 inches of soil—if dry, it's time to water; if still moist, wait a few more days.
Use Room Temperature Water Cold water can shock the roots, while lukewarm or room-temperature water keeps the plant happy and hydrated.
Increase Watering in Warmer Months During spring and summer, peace lilies grow actively and may need watering every 4-5 days, depending on humidity levels.
Reduce Watering in Winter In cooler months, the plant’s growth slows, requiring less water—watering every 10-14 days may be sufficient.
Look for Wilting Leaves Peace lilies droop when thirsty, but quickly recover after watering. Avoid waiting too long, as repeated drying out can stress the plant.
Use Filtered or Distilled Water Tap water with chlorine or fluoride can cause brown leaf tips. Filtered or distilled water helps prevent this issue.
Ensure Proper Drainage Overwatering is a common problem, so use a pot with drainage holes to prevent root rot and soggy soil.
