What Soil Is Best for peace lily?

Peace lily thrives in well-draining soil that retains some moisture. A suitable soil mix combines two parts peat or coco peat with one part perlite or sand to promote aeration and prevent water-logging. For areas where peat is not available, an equal mix of loam and perlite or vermiculite can be used. Incorporate slow-release fertilizer before planting and replenish annually to sustain growth.
