Six months with Peace Lily — what I actually learned

I brought Peace Lily home six months ago with high hopes and almost no knowledge. The first challenge was understanding wiping dusty leaves with a damp cloth to improve light absorption — something I hadn't expected to matter so much. Once I got that right, the whole thing settled down.

I grow it in an office desk with a grow light supplement and the position has been ideal. wide range of forms, textures, and light requirements is what keeps drawing me back to it. minimal watering and no feeding through winter was the moment that made me glad I persisted through the learning curve. One honest warning: brown leaf tips from low humidity or fluoride in tap water caught me off guard in month two. Stay on top of it from the start.
