Home PEACE LILY Pictured: Calla lily, a delicate flower similar in appearance to the peace lily. Both are members of the Araceae family and can be grown indoors or outdoors in warm climates. JOAN ROVERUD EYNARD PLACES LILIES THROUGHOUT HER HOME 6 MAY 2021 The peace lily is known to remove organic toxins and give off water vapor to moisturize the air and ease your breathing. These lovely plants are often depicted in photos and paintings, so why not decorate your home with both the artwork and the beautiful flowering plant? The dark green leaves and luminous white flowers add a classy yet tropical vibe to your décor. For a greener look, place your peace lily in low light and the flowers will bloom less often. On the other hand, peace lilies that live in a brighter space will produce more flowers. When caring for a peace lily, avoid the common mistake of overwatering, as these plants die far faster from too much water than they do from dried-out soil. Plant care experts advise against watering peace lilies on a schedule, and instead recommend you check them once a week to see if the soil is dry. Never water a peace lily with damp soil.
