My lilly looks like someone took a bit out of one of the leaves. I can't see any bugs on the plant, what can cause this.
When A Peace Lily Is Over 1 Year Old, I'm Fixing To Repot, But Do You Cut Back The Huge Leaves Or Leave. Very Couriuos
Thank You

My Peace lilies are growing well. But these don't flower much. I see tiny green or pale flowers once in a while. They are kept in shade with bright light. I water them 2 times a week.
Pls guide.
Hi Farzana,
It sounds like you should increase the amount of light your peace lily receives. While you do not want to put your plant in direct sunlight, peace lilies thrive when it receives lots of bright, indirect sunlight. Try moving it to a place that is brighter and out of the shade, but won’t be in direct sun.
Also, make sure you are not giving it too much water. You want to soil to be moist to the touch, but not oversaturated. And if you did not fertilize this year, begin fertilizing in late winter with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer. You should add fertilizer two or three times during the active growing season (about every 6 weeks).
Try switching the area of sunlight the Peace Lily is kept in.
I had really bad itchy eyes and nasal congestion. As soon as we removed our peace lilies from our bedroom, my allergies were gone. So no more peace lilies in our home...thank God.
This is a very strange question! I love the foliage of peace lily, but the flowers creep me out! Would it hurt the plant if I just cut off the flowers as they form?
Hi Lisa,
Removing your peace lily flower stalk before the flower blooms should not hurt your plant. You want to remove the stalk as close to the base of the plant as possible, which is the process you take after blooms are spent. One thing to know is that when you deadhead you peace lily it will put energy into creating more flowers so you will just need to be mindful that more flower stalks and blooms may appear.
