Peace Lilies prefer medium to low light conditions; direct sunlight can scorch their leaves. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. They are very forgiving and will droop dramatically when thirsty, perking up after watering. It's best to water when the top inch of soil feels dry. They thrive in high humidity and prefer temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Yellowing leaves, like those seen in the image, can indicate overwatering, underwatering, or too much light.
