  • Posted by plantladylin (Sebastian, Florida - Zone 10a) on Jul 10, 2020 9:04 AM concerning plant:
    When grown as a container plant, Peace Lilies need a light, airy potting medium and a container that allows excellent drainage. In a pot without drainage the water has nowhere to go and the soil will become overly saturated, depleting oxygen at root level and causing the rhizomes and roots to rot. Peace Lilies like consistently damp soil and will only survive wet soil if it is adequately aerated.

    One of my Peace Lilies has been sitting in the water of a fountain since 2016 and it is extremely happy. The pump runs 24/7 so the water is constantly in motion as it circulates from the fountain, spilling into a small pond below and then back up to the fountain.
