How to harvest peace lily from seed to stunning in record time
To give your peace lily seeds the best start, use a light, well-draining soil mix.
Ideal seed-starting mix:
-
-
2 parts peat moss or coco coir
-
-
1 part perlite or vermiculite
-
Optional: a small amount of fine compost for added nutrients
Sterilize your soil by baking it in the oven (at 180°F for 30 minutes) if you’re using garden soil, to prevent fungus and pests.
3. Sow the Seeds Correctly
Use shallow seed trays or small pots to sow your peace lily seeds. Here’s how to do it:
-
-
Moisten the soil slightly so it’s damp but not soaked.
-
Place seeds on the surface and gently press them into the soil — they need light to germinate, so do not cover them completely.
-
Mist the surface with water to keep it moist.
-
-
Cover the tray or pot with a clear plastic lid or plastic wrap to retain humidity.
Label the container with the sowing date so you can track progress.
