Humid spots, not sunny windows: where to place a peace lily for best blooms

To help a peace lily thrive and bloom, place it in a humid, indirect-light spot (such as a bathroom or kitchen) rather than a sunny windowsill. It prefers north or east-facing light away from radiators and drafts, and you should water to keep the soil moist but not soggy (don't overwater). Regular misting or a small humidifier can boost humidity. Also note that peace lilies are toxic to pets, so keep the plant out of reach of cats and dogs.

Malibu's Franklin Fire: Progress in Containment Amidst Devastation

Firefighters are making progress in containing the Franklin fire in Malibu, aided by lessening winds and increasing humidity. The fire, which started near Pepperdine University, has reached 30% containment. A red flag warning was lifted as weather conditions improved, allowing some residents to return home. However, the fire has damaged or destroyed several structures, and officials warn that the danger remains due to dry brush. A low-pressure system is bringing a chance of rain, which could help firefighting efforts, though it won't eliminate the fire risk entirely.
