omg, amazinggg! i feel like this one has a lot of stems and could probably be more than one plant. i haven’t repotted yet so i might put it in 2. i love those huge leaves. what kind of light does yours get? and do you use a grow lamp?

They’re all around the living room.. the one that’s huge is actually on my bar in the kitchen so shaded quite a bit.

My house faces East so my peace Lily gets the morning sun and is stationed in my living room. I have plantation blinds angled so it doesn’t get too strong of sun rays.

I just water when she starts dropping. I have had her 2 years

Drooping

Very dramatic plant! Will let you know when it’s thirsty. I advise using perlite in your soil so it’s better draining to avoid root rot (because of how often you have to water it). Make sure you prune the dead leaves! And misting it every week helped mine flower.
