newrae, it will be fine this summer if it is in the shade (very sure to be in the shade, they sunburn very badly) but it won't survive the winter here. i just noticed you are in savannah, i work at scad.

Also, Jiffymouse, I should tell you that I bought this peace lily at Home Depot for $14.00, and it must be about 3.5 feet tall. And, it's healthy, too!!!

NewRae, have you considered dividing the plant? If you do a root division you could have more that one peace lily and one to fit the area you intended. I've had one for the past 20 years and have divided it many times. If you look at the base of the plant you'll be able to see leaf stalks that are separate from the original plant ... take a very sharp knife and cut downward along the piece easiest separated. Make sure you have roots from the mother plant. They're pretty versatile plants and bounce back fast as long as they have the right growing conditions and don't catch a cold.
