Peace lilies prefer low to medium light and consistently moist soil, but do not like to sit in standing water. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. They thrive in high humidity and temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Keep away from drafts and direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Yellowing leaves, as seen in the image, can indicate overwatering, underwatering, or nutrient deficiency.
