I just recently bought a peace lily and do not know how often i should water it also some of the tips of the leaves is brown. I wonder if you could gave me some advice it would be much appreciated also is it ok to keep it in the conservatory.
Plants take in CO2 and give off Oxygen, but most people tend to forget that during the night most plants actually reverse this cycle (light dependent vs light independent reactions, high school biology, yuck!)…so my question is, would having a plant in your room increase your risk of O2 deprivation and suffocation during the night? i know it sounds silly but it makes sence in my head
i woldnt think so plants produce about three times the O2 then they produce CO2 or at least i beleive they do =D
Brown tips are a sign of too low of humidity…if you take a plastic saucer and fill it with gravel, you can then put your plant on this saucer. Then put some water into the saucer, BARELY covering the gravel with water. A good way to tell if your peace lily needs water is to stick your finger to the first knuckle into the soil…if it’s moist let it go and don’t water…if it’s dry water. Hope this helps!
