Common watering mistake that could be killing your peace lilies Peace lilies, loved for their low-maintenance nature and air-purifying abilities, could be suffering at the hands of their well-meaning owners, the Royal Horticultural Society warns.
Natalie Devereux of Serenata Flowers echoes this sentiment, warning against the use of tap water's fluoride content as it could harm peace lilies, which have a sensitivity to it.
Drooping leaves are a tell-tale sign your peace lily needs a drink, recovering quickly once watered, but remember, a clean-up of the leaves with a damp cloth is crucial for better photosynthesis.
She advises: "Peace lilies don't like being overwatered, so don't water on a schedule as it is likely they will need less in the winter than the summer when the external conditions are warmer.".
The experts also recommend switching the water source from tap to rainwater to help peace lilies thrive.
