Peace Lily tips?

This peace lily was originally part of a funeral arrangement with a moth orchid and a croton. I replanted all three separately. I want to enjoy this lily in my office, but am solely using a grow light because my basement has no windows. Would love some tips as I’ve never had a peace lily before. I would love to watch it flower someday! #PeaceLily #lilys #NewPlantMom

I know they need a lot of humidity. Try getting a humidifier or putting a dish with pebbles and water underneath the pot, that will increase the humidity :) (make sure there is enough pebbles to keep the pot from sitting in water to avoid root rot, though.)

I’ve had a peace lily since a funeral in 2017. It’s the only plant I had at my college apt. They are pretty easy to take care of. It will need to be split into two pots occasionally, but that’s either when it’s obviously overcrowded or has different areas of stems. I can take a picture of the stems on mine tomorrow. It could to be split into three pots 😅 I wasn’t paying attention to the stems. I’m not sure how large my pot is, but it’s way bigger than 5”. I can’t remember if we immediately repotted it or if it came in that pot. Either way, it will put out a new leaf pretty often if it’s happy. It’s also pretty resilient. It fell over in transit, it’s been left without water when I wasn’t around, it’s been overwatered for sure… it’s a great plant
