Plant Peace Lily outside?
We received a Peace Lily last summer and it's doing well as a house plant,
but I was thinking of planting it outside in a shady spot in the yard. (Cedar Park). I read online one or two incidences of people planting them outside in colder climates and having them freeze back in winter, but grow again in the spring. It seems to me that they could grow decently well in this area. Has anyone in this group planted a Peace Lily outside? If so, what was your experience? Teri |

Plant Peace Lily outside?
I am in North San Antonio, lower edge of zone 8. I have had luck splitting
up the plants when they get crowed in the pot and putting some in the ground. I have had them come back after mild winters. But I have a deer problem and they didn't come back from that.

Thanks for your feedback!
I'm assuming you planted in a predominately shadey area. Can you recall what it's water requirments were - particularly in the heat of summer? TR "Cliff" wrote in message . com...

Just plant the whole pot in the ground and bring it up when it
freezes. They flower better when they're root bound, so keeping it in the container is good.

You are correct, shady is best. I think they are fairly tolerant of neglect
once established. They will show you when they need water and seem to recover quickly if forgotten, at least that is what happens here in the house. When you discover one that is all limp and put it in the sink and give it a good soaking it springs right back. Good Luck "TLR" wrote in message . net... Thanks for your feedback!
