Humidity

These plants prefer a slightly above-average level of humidity. You can achieve this by misting your Peace Lily occasionally, or by wiping the leaves down with a wet cloth.

If you have pets, it is best to keep them away from the Peace Lily. If ingested, it can cause vomiting and oral irritation.

Temperature Preferences

An average household temperature in the range of 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit should be suitable for the Peace Lily. Avoid placing the Lily near heat vents or doors with a cold draft.
