Provide Adequate Light Peace lilies thrive in bright, indirect light. Ensure your plant receives enough light but avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. A spot near a window works well.
Maintain Consistent Watering Water your peace lily regularly, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Let the top layer dry out between waterings to prevent root rot, but don’t let the plant dry out completely.
Increase Humidity Peace lilies enjoy a humid environment. To encourage blooming, increase humidity by misting the leaves, placing the plant on a tray with pebbles and water, or using a humidifier.
Fertilize Monthly Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Over-fertilizing can harm the plant, so use it sparingly to avoid nutrient buildup.
Repot When Necessary If your peace lily has outgrown its pot or becomes root-bound, repot it into a slightly larger container. This promotes healthy root growth and can encourage blooming.
Prune Dead Flowers Regularly trim away spent flowers and yellow leaves to encourage new growth and blooming. Deadheading helps direct the plant’s energy into producing more flowers.
Provide Temperature Stability Peace lilies prefer consistent temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Avoid placing them near drafts, heaters, or air conditioners, as sudden temperature changes can stress the plant and hinder blooming.
