How to Care for Peace Lily Houseplants

I have done plenty of research online and still cannot find the proper care and method to take care of my Lily. Some instructions say partial light others say full light and a few others say dim indirect light. I am new to indoor growing so any advice would be great. I also have, an English Ivy, an Ocean Spider plant, and a bamboo palm. All except the lily seem to be thriving. Do you have any advice or tips that could help me?

Light: Peace Lily houseplants do well in low, medium, or indirect bright light. Too much light causes the leaves  to fade and lose their vibrant dark green color. Too little light and Peace Lily houseplants can’t develop flowers. Direct sunlight burns the leaves of Peace Lily houseplants. I keep mine in medium light.
Water: Allow the top 50% of the soil to dry out before watering. If a Peace Lily Plant severely droops, yellow leaves appear after it’s watered. Over-watering causes the leaves to get ugly brown tips. Let the plant droop slightly before watering and water from the bottom (allow the plant to sit in water for 15 minutes, then get rid of the water.
Fertilizer: Fertilize Peace Lily houseplants every other month when the plants are actively growing with a basic houseplant food at 1/2 the recommended strength. Giving a Peace Lily  too much fertilizer causes brown leaf tips.
Temperature: Peace Lily houseplants grow well in 65-85 degree temperatures.
Humidity: Peace Lilies like a humid environment but do well in basic household humidity.
These plants are considered poisonousPlants are a great addition to homes and offices, but it’s important to know whether your plants are dangerous to children, pets, or even adults. Some plants contain chemicals such as oxalates, solanine, glycosides, or alkaloid lycorine that may cause vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, swelling and redness of the mouth, throat, and lips, and trouble breathing. Touching parts of certain plants, especially the sap, may cause various skin irritations. The weight and age of the human or pet involved, and the part and amount of plant eaten determine how severe the reaction to the toxins will be. Although plants may be listed as non-toxic, they can still cause individual allergic reactions. If there is any question after a houseplant has been ingested or touched immediately call the Poison Control Center 1-800-222-1222 The Handbook of Poisonous and Injurious Plants [Paperback]is an excellent reference to keep around if you have young children and pets. and should be kept away from pets and children.
