Plant Faqs
How much light does a Sweet Benito need? It thrives in low to medium indirect light away from harsh direct sun. Is this plant safe for pets? Peace lilies contain calcium oxalates and should be kept away from curious pets. Why are the leaf tips turning brown? This is often caused by low humidity or inconsistent watering. How do I know when to water? The plant will show a slight droop when the soil begins to dry out.
