I’m sorry for your loss. Although Spathiphyllum (Peace Lilies) would be lovely around her grave site, these plants are tropical and can’t survive cold temperatures. Unless you live in certain areas of Hawaii or Florida, you need to keep these peace lilies as houseplants. You can use them as outdoor plants during the warmer months.
Can peace lilies be planted outdoors in Plant City, FL 33566? And if so, when is the best time to transfer the plants from planters to outdoors?
Yes, you can grow peace lilies in your area. The best time to transfer your peace lily is in spring when the temperatures are at least above 73 degrees. Peace lilies grow well in moist but well-drained, humus rich soil in deep shade.
