I have been given a peace lily, how do I look after it?

Our Advice:

Peace lily (Spathyphyllum wallisii) prefers bright light, but not direct sunlight. The white flowers turn green if it is too dark and scorch if the light is too bright. This plant needs a minimum temperature of 13c and must be kept away from draughts. Re-pot when you see roots emerge from the pot, feed once a month with a houseplant fertiliser and water regularly.
