What to use: Balanced liquid fertilizer (10-10-10 or 20-20-20), diluted to half strength
🚫 Don’t over-fertilize — it can burn roots and cause brown leaf tips.
🪴 5. Potting & Repotting: Don’t Let It Get Too Crowded
Peace lilies actually bloom better when slightly root-bound — but if they’re too cramped, they stop flowering.
✅ When to Repot:
Roots growing out the bottom
Water runs straight through
No new growth for months
👉 Repot every 2–3 years in a pot only 1–2 inches larger.
✅ Best Potting Mix:
Well-draining — use a mix for tropical or indoor plants
Add perlite or orchid bark for extra aeration
✅ Bonus: Repotting in spring often triggers new blooms.
✂️ 6. Remove Old Flowers & Leaves
Don’t let spent blooms linger.
Once the white spathe turns green or brown, gently pull or cut it at the base
This tells the plant: “Time to make a new one.”
Also remove yellow or damaged leaves to keep energy focused on healthy growth
✅ Clean shears help prevent disease.
🌸 What a Healthy Bloom Looks Like
A smooth, white hood (spathe) rising from a central spike (spadix)
Grows taller than the leaves
Lasts 4–6 weeks
Fades to green, then brown — time to remove
💡 Fun fact: The “flower” isn’t a flower — it’s a modified leaf. The real bloom is the spadix inside.
💬 Final Thoughts: Blooms Are a Language — And Yours Is Speaking
We think plants are silent.
But they’re not.
Your peace lily is always talking:
Drooping = “I’m thirsty.”
Brown tips = “The air is dry.”
No flowers = “I need more light.”
And when it finally sends up that pure white bloom?
