Peace lilies will produce 'elegant blooms' if five simple care tasks are completed now
Peace lilies can produce elegant blooms if you complete these five simple care tasks now:
Provide Proper Light: Peace lilies thrive in bright, indirect light. Too little light can prevent blooming, while direct sunlight can scorch the leaves. Move your plant to a brighter spot to encourage flowering.
Temperature and Humidity: These plants prefer a temperature range of 65-80°F (18-27°C) and high humidity.
To boost humidity, especially in dry months, mist the leaves or use a humidifier. This helps to create an environment that encourages the plant to bloom.
Fertilize: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed your peace lily with a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) every 4-6 weeks. This supports bloom production and keeps the plant healthy.
Watering: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry. Ensure the soil is moist, but not soggy. Avoid letting the plant sit in water to prevent root rot.
Repotting: If your peace lily hasn’t been repotted in a while, consider doing so in early spring. A larger pot with fresh soil gives the roots space to grow and encourages blooms.
