Peace lily indoor
This plant placed at indoor environments as they are indoor plants. Place in indoors such as east north facing windows, office table tops, bedroom areas and any otherindoor environments.
Most importantly,,not to keep the plants in AC rooms.
Peace lilies are popular indoor plants due to their ease of care and ability to thrive in low light conditions. The spathe reaches up to 10 inches (25 cm) in length and it often considered as petals. The flowers are fragrant and bloom in the spring and summer.
Soil for peace lily plant
Prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. A good soil mix for peace lilies would consist of equal parts of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite. This mixture provides good drainage and aeration, while also retaining enough moisture to keep the plant hydrated.
It is important to avoid using heavy, clay soils or soils that are prone to waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot and other fungal diseases. Additionally, peace lilies prefer slightly acidic soil with a pH range between 5.5 to 6.5.
Sunlight
Peace lilies can tolerate a range of light conditions, but they do best in bright, indirect light. Direct sun light can scorch the leaves, while too little light can lead to poor growth and a lack of blooms.
Ideally, peace lilies should be placed in a location that receives bright, indirect light for several hours a day. This could be near a window that receives filtered sunlight, or in a bright room that is shielded from direct sunlight.
Peace lilies require consistent moisture, but it is important not to overwater them as this can lead to root rot and other fungal diseases. The frequency of watering will depend on various factors such as the size of the plant, the size of the pot, and the environmental conditions.
A good rule of thumb is to water a peace lily when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. It is important to water the plant thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain out of the bottom of the pot to prevent waterlogging.
If the leaves of the peace lily begin to droop, this can be a sign that the plant needs water. However, if the leaves begin to turn yellow, this could be a sign of overwatering or other issues, such as too much fertilizer or too little light.
It is also important to note that peace lilies are sensitive to chlorine and other chemicals found in tap water. If possible, it is best to use filtered or distilled water when watering a peace lily to avoid damaging the plant.
Peace lilies do not require frequent fertilization, but they can benefit from occasional feeding to promote healthy growth and blooming. It is recommended to fertilize peace lilies once a month during the growing season (spring and summer), and to withhold fertilizer during the winter months when the plant is dormant.
Application organic fertilizer groundnut powder in diluted form around the plants monthly once.
Alternatively,slow-release steamed bone meal fertilizer can be added to the soil when repotting a peace lily, providing nutrients over a longer period of time.
Peace lilies require repotting every 1-2 years, depending on the size of the plant and the pot. Repotting is important for providing the plant with fresh soil, nutrients, and space for growth.
Gently remove the peace lily from its current pot, being careful not to damage the roots.
Shake off excess soil from the roots and inspect them for any signs of damage or disease. Trim away any brown, mushy, or dead roots with clean, sharp scissors or pruners.
Pruning
Pruning is not usually necessary for peace lilies, but occasional pruning can help to promote healthy growth and remove any dead or damaged leaves.
Use clean, sharp scissors or pruners to avoid damaging the plant or spreading disease.
Peace lilies are generally easy to care for and relatively pest and disease resistant, but they can still be susceptible to a few common problems such as Spider mites, Mealybugs, Root rot & bacterial blight.
To reduce this regularly inspecting your peace lily plant for signs of pests or disease, overcrowding & over-watering of plants should be avoided.

Garden maintenance helps to relieve your stress, acts as an anti-depressant and makes you stronger with a good addition of vitamin D & you can easily get your fruits & herbs.
Home gardening should be done with important garden maintenance tips as the plants require care.
Watering is the most important thing in your garden. Water your plants properly because most plants survived by controlled using water. Simply use the “FINGER DIP CHECK” method for checking soil moisture content. And also make a schedule for watering each category of plants & apply only the required water. Water the plants before sunrise or after sunset. Do not water the plants in the daytime.
The most important thing to remember while watering the plants is not to overwater or underwater because it leads to deficiencies.
For successful gardening firstly, select good fertile soil. You can also add a potting mix made of nutritious organic matter in a ratio of 20:80.
Don’t make the soil soggy because it may invade fungally, and bacterial diseases like root rot, wilt, die back & others.
Place & arrange your plants according to daylight requirements for every plant. Plants like succulents, cacti, crotons, drought-tolerant fruit plants, flowering plants, and vegetable plants require at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight.
Indoors & air purifier plants require only partial or partial sunlight of about 2-4 hours.
Grow the plant in the soil with proper spacing, to avoid overcrowding plants. Fast-growing plants like climbers, creepers, and vegetable plants should not be planted close to each other.
As a gardener avoid killing beneficial insects like honey bees, butterflies, ladybird beetles, praying mantis, and lacewing bugs. Those are pollinators that are essential for the pollination process in all plants, act as biological controllers & maintain ecological balance.
Weeds are the most serious problem in gardening, once it occupies the soil it grows fastly & uptakes all the plant minerals. To control weeds, manual hand weeding is necessary. Inspect your garden plants weekly once to remove dead plants.
To control weeds “Mulching” practice can be done by covering the topsoil with fallen dried leaves, tree barks, grass clippings, wood chips, and paddy straws as ground cover to conserve moisture.
Some of the plants require a particular season to grow. Don’t grow plants that are not suitable for your season or if you grow, wait with patience till the season comes to bloom flowers, fruits, and vegetables. To overcome this, all-season plants can be grown which gives fruit and flowers year-round.
Pruning is necessary for growing new plants in the garden. Trim the old, infected, dead, rotten fruits, flowers, and branches. Prune lower parts of the plants in the rainy season to avoid pests & diseases.
Improper pruning like removing large sections of tree crowns, or upper portions of the plants may kill your plants.
Don’t over-fertilize your plants; it may lead to stunted growth, burning of plants, air pollution, water pollution & reduces soil fertility.
Avoid pesticide application regularly like once a week or 15 days once. Apply pest control when you find the pest level is severe. Do not pollute soil by practicing different chemical applications.
Instead apply all-purpose organic fertilizer & pesticides namely vermicompost, tree leaf compost, cow manure, goat manure, neem oil, ground nut powder, and others in the right method of application. Apply fertilizers in the early morning or late evening. Not to apply fertilizer in direct sunlight.
Like human beings, plants also need their friends in a growing environment. Companion crops can be planted around your main plants for pollination by pollinators, to prevent unwanted pest attacks, to provide shade, and for a symbiotic relationship with plants.
For example, tomatoes can be grown along with marigolds, garlic, mint, and basil which keep away from mosquitoes & others.
If you are a learner in gardening, first try to grow edible plants that grow rapidly with higher yields. Utilize day-to-day household wastes such as greens skin peel like onion, garlic skin peel, eggshell waste, fruit peel, tea powder waste, and coffee grounds.
Not only this, but Rainwater also you can utilize and apply it to your plants. This supplies good amounts of support to plants such as N, P, K, Mg, Ca & Na. Rainwater is always best for plants compared to normal tap water because these plants can live stronger and happily.
