Snip, Sip, or Shift? The Surprising Task That Makes Peace Lilies Flower Longer

Snip Spent Blooms – Removing faded flowers encourages the plant to redirect energy to new blooms.

Trim Yellow Leaves – Cut off discolored or dying leaves to keep the plant healthy and visually appealing.

Snip Spent Blooms – Regularly trim off faded flowers to encourage the plant to focus energy on new blooms instead of seed production.

Keep Soil Moist (Sip Right) – Peace lilies thrive with evenly moist soil. Don’t overwater—let the top inch dry slightly between watering.

Bright, Indirect Light – Place your plant near a window with filtered light. Too much sun scorches leaves; too little hinders blooming.

Avoid Cold Drafts – Peace lilies prefer warmth. Keep them away from open windows or air conditioning vents.

Fertilize Monthly – Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (20-20-20) during spring and summer to boost flower production.

Repot When Root-Bound (Shift) – A cramped root system can prevent flowering. Repot every 1-2 years for healthy growth.
