| Here in the UK growing the Spathiphyllum under glass I aim for the following mix and temperatures - Compost, leaf-mould and peat with a little loam, sand and charcoal. |

| I use an average potting soil for mine. Nothing particularly special and my peace lillies are all between 15 and 10 years old. I do crush up egg shells and add to the top layer of dirt from time to time for a calcium supplement and this keeps the plants very green. I don't fertilize very much and I would advise that you avoid any Miracle gro type fertilizers due to the slow salt build up in your soil. A slow release fertilizer or some organic compost added to the pot occasionally works fine. |
