I've had my peace lily for about six months now and I'm still figuring out its watering preferences. Mine seems to droop dramatically when it's thirsty, which is honestly kind of helpful as a signal, but I worry I'm eit
My peace lily finally flowered after months of just sitting there looking green. I think the key was stopping myself from fussing with it so much—I'd been moving it around constantly trying to find the "perfect" spot. O
