Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Peace lilies prefer consistently moist soil but dislike waterlogged conditions. Reduce watering slightly in winter to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid standing water.
Prune away yellowing or dead leaves and spent flower stalks at the base of the plant to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage new growth. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruners. This also helps prevent disease.
Peace lilies can be propagated by division. In spring, carefully divide the root ball of a mature plant into smaller sections, each with at least one pseudobulb and several leaves. Replant each division in its own pot.
Repot your Canna-Leaf Peace Lily every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Spring is the ideal time for repotting to give the plant a fresh start.
