How To Get Your Peace Lily To Flower More

SAVE THIS!

🌿 1. Provide the Right Light

• Peace lilies tolerate low light, but they bloom best in bright, indirect light.
• Too little light = lush green leaves, but few or no flowers.
• Avoid direct sun, which can scorch leaves. A north or east-facing window is perfect.

💧 2. Water Properly

• Keep the soil evenly moist, not soggy.
• Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
• Peace lilies are sensitive to chlorine and fluoride—use filtered, distilled, or left-out tap water if possible.

🌡 3. Maintain Warm, Humid Conditions

• Ideal temperature: 65–80°F (18–27°C).
• Keep away from cold drafts, AC vents, or heaters.
• Boost humidity with a pebble tray, misting, or a humidifier.

🌱 4. Fertilize for Flowers

• Use a balanced houseplant fertilizer (10-10-10 or 20-20-20), diluted to half strength.
• Feed every 6 weeks in spring and summer (their active growing season).
• Too much fertilizer = lots of leaves, no blooms.

🌸 5. Repot If Root-Bound

• Peace lilies bloom better when slightly root-bound, but if roots are circling the pot or pushing through drainage holes, it’s time to repot.
• Move to a pot just 1–2 inches larger than the old one with fresh, well-draining soil.

✂️ 6. Prune and Clean

• Remove old blooms by cutting the stem at the base—this encourages new flowers.
• Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free, which helps with photosynthesis.

⏳ 7. Be Patient

• Peace lilies usually bloom twice a year (spring and sometimes fall).
• With proper care, you can encourage more frequent flowering, but it still follows the plant’s natural rhythm.
