The name “peace lily” came about because the white flowers look like white flags of peace—though they aren’t actually lilies. Instead, they’re tropical perennials, meaning when you practice good peace lily care, these plants can live for years and flower over and over again. Ideal for home or office growing, they're easy to take care of, don’t require a lot of light, and do a wonderful job cleaning and purifying the air. Place plants in bright, indirect light    Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.

Peace lilies don’t usually behave like drama queens, unless you forget to water them. One day your beloved plant is looking gorgeous, then the very next day you find it flopping over in its pot like an exhausted teenager on a sofa. Not to worry! Simply water immediately, let the plant soak it up, and water again. That’s it—you’re back on track.
