New Peace Lily Owner here!!
I believe this is my first peace lily I’ve ever owned! I thought the self watering pot was really neat—but I wanted to ask and make sure that that’s a proper or safe way to water one, and if so—how often do I add water? Each time it runs dry? Any tips on how to care for it, water it, how much sun eTC would help a lot, thank you! <3 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #NewPlantMom #PeaceLily

@newplantgirlies I tried doing some research on them and have seen some similar statements from a couple others! Haha <3 and thank you so much, I hope so too!
@pinkmilk a couple other things I’ve learned that might be helpful, as soon as a bloomed flower goes brown, cut it at the base. Mine had about 6 flowers bloom within a week of bringing it home and felt so proud of myself because all I find are negative stories about them and felt determined to succeed 😅 and then they all turned brown and I thought I killed it! Found out it’s totally normal! Also, not sure if it’s normal for all, or mine is just dramatic, but on super sunny days it will shift and the leaves will reach for the window, the end of the day when it gets dark, it returns to normal. One time before I realized how much they need to be watered, compared to others, I found it completely drooping and added water and within 10 minutes it perked back up. Definitely my most outspoken indoor plant!
@YoungKanono75 I greatly appreciate all of the information, thank you so muchh!! Through my research, I found a couple or so talking about how dramatic they can be!

Hi Taylor!
I always use plastic pots for my Peace Lily and never let her go into shock 😲 by not watering until her leaves droop.
In other words, I always maintain the proper moisture.
Between picking her up to feel her weight, to using a moisture meter, to checking water recommendations on our Greg app, Lily has always rewarded me with her beauty and awesome growth.
Every home environment is different. Lily prefers indirect light in my apartment ✨️ 💖.
She loves being quite close to other plants 🪴 and enjoys the humidifier.
Have fun with your Lily!
