How to Start It

★ Recommended for beginners

At repotting, separate the clump into sections, each with several leaves and roots — the standard, reliable method (it doesn't grow from cuttings).

A graceful, easy plant grown for both its lush leaves and its white flower 'sails' (spathes) — and famous for telling you when it's thirsty: the whole plant dramatically droops, then perks back up within hours of watering. It even tolerates low light (though it flowers more with bright indirect light). It grows as a clump of crowns you divide to propagate. Toxic to pets if chewed.

Growing Tips

1Peace lilies are forgiving: bright, indirect light brings the most flowers (they survive shade but bloom less), and they'll signal thirst by drooping — though try not to rely on that, as repeated wilting stresses them.
2Keep the soil lightly moist, mist or group with other plants if your air is dry, and remove spent flower stalks at the base.
3Brown leaf tips usually mean dry air or tap-water minerals.
