Peace lilies are a popular and easy-to-care houseplant known for their glossy dark green leaves and beautiful white flowers (called spathes). They typically do well in slightly crowded conditions, so they typically don’t need a very large pot. It is recommended to choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current pot.
When choosing a pot, consider factors such as your watering habits, the temperature of your home, and the location where you plan to keep the plant. Peace lilies do well in slightly crowded conditions, so they typically don’t need a very large pot. Repotting your peace lily into a slightly larger pot with fresh compost every few years is recommended. Peace lilies do well when their roots are a bit restricted, but recurrent wilting, despite regular watering, is a sign that they need to be repotted.
Peace lilies have shallow root systems and don’t need excessively large and deep pots. For best results, pick a medium-sized pot that’s no more than a third larger than the rootball. Fill the pot to two-thirds of the way up with peat-free multi-purpose or house-plant compost, then plant your peace lily, filling around the rootball with more compost. Water well and allow to drain.
Peace lilies are perfectly happy growing in containers, but they don’t like sitting in pots much larger than their root balls. To plant one, go just one size up, roughly two inches (five centimeters). As the plant matures, increase the pot size by 2 inches during each repotting. Avoid pots larger than 10 inches to prevent root rot and ensure that the plant is a little root bound.
In summary, choosing the right pot for your peace lily is essential for its growth, health, and longevity. By selecting a pot that is only slightly larger than the current pot, you can ensure that your peace lily grows well and thrives in the environment.

So glad to find this. I received an enormous one this size 8 years ago when my mother passed away. I knew it didn’t look like a normal peace lily, but then it finally bloomed like one. I am repotting it again (I think I potted it in too large of a pot) and was concerned how deep I need to plant it. The large rhizome area has always sat above the soil.
Gorgeous huge Lily in a gorgeous pot!!💓💓. My lilies are in self watering pots and haven’t had any yellowing nor crisping. They get ambient full spectrum light from a floor lamp that is for my pet bunny. 😊. They are also in a North facing window where light is medium level, reflecting from white house next door. So far so good. 🤞
I’ve actually had my peace lily inside medium light and it actually got those same crispy sides and brown edges incl. brown spots, The leaves actually stopped doing that after I put it outside, and has been receiving filtered sun and when I bring it back inside (because the southern side of north america sucks in weather), it gets direct sun from my south-facing window, and hasn’t got any burns on it from what I’ve seen. I think the Spathiphyllum ‘Sensation’ is very tolerant of higher light levels and or semi-direct sun as long as it’s not thrown out in the open, but these are simply my conditions as where I got it, it was already in direct sun, and was doing pretty well. I’ve also come to realize darker leafed plants can handle full sun very well as long as you let them acclimate to it slowly, but that’s just me. I do think peace lilies are just stubborn plants and just are never perfect looking despite them nice leaves 💀
I re-potted my mom’s Peace Lily, Irene the other day. The soil was drying out too fast. I thought that she looked root bound. I followed your YouTube article on dividing the Peace Lily. I planted the majority back into its grow pot. I had a difficult time finding a deep enough pot for the pieces of the plant that I separated from the mother plant. I’ve got a lot of Terra Cotta pots, but they would have been too heavy to move. It’s been two years since Irene has been re-potted. Suggestions?
Jeff, Jeff JEFF, so excited to tell you about my latest project. I am not a fan of the moss poles either, I have made them same as you have. I am not a fan of wooden planks as my plant room is part of my living room. I don’t want the plastic look either 🙄🙄🙄 so I have tied a new medium for the poles. I purchased coconut coir MULCH and made a couple of poles with it as the filler. I packed it tight dry so when I watered it would expand and it looks great. I have NO mess like the moss and it has stayed moist for days. The color is nice too.
Peace Lily’s die in my care 😭 rare plants or difficult plants do well but the “starter plants” just die… I love the one you work on in this though, it looks a lot like a bird of paradise except it doesn’t tear! As your plants get bigger you may want to change the website name to “jungle Jeff” since you’re mostly hidden 🤣 Off topic question. My ZZ only has 1 stem per bulb, so 3 stems. Everytime it gets a new one the other dies off. Any clue why this is happening? Did the alocasias teach it bad habits? The stems do size up but it’s annoying that it looks so sparse.
