How to Care for Peace Lilies

6. Watering a peace lily

Peace lilies are known as very dramatic plants. They will suddenly start to wilt if they do not have enough water, and this is a good indication to water your peace lily immediately. They will perk back up in a few hours after being watered. Keep the soil moist, and when the top inch of the soil is dry, give the lily more water until there is overflow coming out of the bottom of the pot. Since they are native to tropical rainforests of America, they can be misted, which helps keep their leaves from getting dusty, but it is not necessary to keep them healthy.
