Peace lilies will flower again if you add 1 item to the soil to 'encourage' more blooms

If your peace lily has stopped producing those lovely white blooms, you're not alone. These houseplants are known for their long-lasting white flowers. But sometimes, they go through long stretches of leafy growth with no blooms in sight.

While it can be frustrating, a peace lily that isn't flowering is usually sending a simple signal: it needs a little extra care or a small change in its environment. Blooming Backyard experts have said: "Your peace lily flower can last for up to a month and then will turn yellow or green before eventually turning black or brown. Deadhead your peace lily flower at any stage to preserve the beauty of this plant."

Other advice to coax the plant into blooming includes using the right growing material.

A fantastic growing medium can be created by mixing two parts of potting soil, one part perlite and one part coconut coir.

When planting, inspect the pot you're using. Peace lilies prefer being snug in their containers, so ensure no roots are protruding.

The experts stated: "Nutrients are essential components in plant health, particularly if you want to encourage your plants to flower.

"Recently purchased peace lilies won't require feeding, but if they've been in the same pot for a while and have used up all the available nutrients, fertiliser or repotting is the only way to perk them up again."

It's advised to use a balanced fertiliser and to feed them at least once every two months.

For peace lily owners who notice more green flowers appearing, reduce the feeding to every three months, or lessen the strength of the food.

This might not assist during the winter months, but there should be an improvement by spring and summer.

Poor blooms can also indicate nutrient deficiency, according to the experts. If flowers appear feeble or poorly developed, change to a phosphorus-rich fertiliser.

The experts explained: "This nutrient encourages flowering and fruiting in plants and should spur flowering in your peace lily too."

Additional methods to promote blooming include maintaining it in a warm setting and preventing any abrupt temperature fluctuations.
