Peace Lily

For more care advice about Pippa, check out our complete guide to peace lily care.

As you may have guessed from its love of steamy conditions, the peace lily is native to tropical rainforests, specifically those of South and Central America. It’s thought it was brought to Europe some time in the late 1800s and it's adapted well to the UK’s less than tropical conditions.

As exotic as it looks, its light and water needs are modest. It will cope in quite low light, though prefers indirect light, and as long as its humidity needs are met it's generally happy and should flower throughout spring. It will appreciate a feed with liquid fertiliser once per month in spring and summer. As well as being an elegant beauty, this plant is a hardworking air-purifyer.

Did you know?

In the Chinese art of feng shui, the peace lily is considered an aura purifier. So if your aura is feeling particularly spotless after buying one, that’s why.

Supporting Galop

We're conscious our impact doesn't stop with Patch. Supporting charities that make a positive contribution to communities across the UK is important to us and our team. This Pride month, we're delighted to be partnering with Galop, the national LGBT+ anti-abuse charity that's been working with and for victims of abuse and violence for more than 40 years.

In honour of Pride month, we're supporting Galop with the help of our peace lily plant, Pippa. We'll be donating £1 to the charity for every Pippa sold during the month of June.
