How To Get Your Peace Lily To Flower More

Buds appear regularly

Too dark? The plant stays green but never flowers.

Fix: Move it closer to a window — but not in direct sun.

2. Watering: Consistency Is Everything

Peace lilies are famous for drooping dramatically when thirsty — then perking up within hours of watering.

But too much drama stresses the plant and stops blooming.

How to Water Right:

Check the top inch of soil — if dry, it’s time to water

Water thoroughly — until water runs out the drainage holes

 

 

 

 

Let excess water drain — never let the pot sit in water

Use room-temperature water — cold shocks the roots

Pro Tip: If your tap water is high in fluoride or chlorine, use filtered or distilled water — peace lilies are sensitive.

3. Temperature & Humidity: Recreate the Rainforest

Peace lilies are tropical. They thrive in warm, humid air — not dry, drafty rooms.

Ideal Conditions:

 

 

 

Temperature

65–80°F (18–27°C)

Humidity

50–60% or higher

How to Boost Humidity:

Group plants together — they create a microclimate

Use a humidifier — especially in winter

Place on a pebble tray — with water (not touching the pot)

Mist occasionally — but don’t overdo it (can promote mold)
