Keep Your Peace Lily Blooming: Basic Tips The following tips will not only help your peace lily thrive, but they can also be used for other plants, especially those that have trouble re-blooming after purchase. This problem is often caused by insufficient nutrients.
Here’s how you can create your own homemade liquid fertilizer: Start by mixing a fresh aloe vera leaf with two to three gallons of water. Once mixed, strain the solution to remove any remaining thorns, then use it to water your plants. This bi-weekly aloe-based fertilizer can significantly improve your plant’s growth.
If you prefer not to use a blender, simply extract the gel from the aloe vera leaf and mix it with water by hand, eliminating the need for straining.
Additional Tips for Keeping Peace Lilies Healthy In addition to homemade fertilizer, there are a few other things to consider to ensure your peace lily stays healthy and vibrant:
Temperature: Ideal conditions are between 18 and 25°C. The plant does not tolerate cold below 15°C, but can withstand up to 30°C in heat. Light: Peace lilies prefer bright, indirect light. Soil: Choose a slightly acidic soil that includes peat, bark flakes, and sand. Location: Avoid drafts or tight spaces for optimal growth.
