How to Propagate peace lily?

A popular indoor plant with glossy green leaves and elegant white blooms, peace lily thrives in warm, humid conditions and is propagated primarily through division and cuttings. For successful propagation, divide the root ball during repotting or use stem cuttings with at least one leaf and root them in water or moist soil. Ensuring high humidity and indirect sunlight promotes a healthy root system for new plants. Care should be taken to avoid damaging the parent plant's roots and to maintain a clean cut on the stem to prevent disease.
