Growing Tips:
• Remove unsightly leaves and dead flowers regularly.
• Dust peace lily leaves regularly by wiping with a soft cloth. Dust can clog up the pores of the leaves and make it difficult for the leaves to function.
• Because of the toxic nature of this plant, keep the pot out of the reach of children and pets.
