My friend recently asked me, “What’s wrong with my Peace Lily? She isn’t blooming and she looks so sad!” I gave her some advice and within a few weeks, her Peace Lily is thriving, blooming, and overall, a very happy houseplant!
Does this sound like you? No worries, I can help!
Do you feel like it’s taking forever to get your Peace Lily to bloom? Are you worried that you might kill it before it even has a chance to boom? Maybe you’re beginning to wonder if you really have what it takes to keep a houseplant alive.
Today, I’m talking about sharing my fail-proof plan to NOT kill your Peace Lily and how to keep your Peace Lily Blooming! They don’t call me a crazy plant lady for nothing!
MY FAIL-PROOF NO KILL PEACE LILY PROBLEM SOLVER
Problem: My Peace Lily isn’t blooming.
Cause: Not enough light.
Solution: Move it into a well-lit area or purchase a plant light. We have ours in our sun porch in front of a south-facing window. We supplement it’s light with a plant light during the winter when there is are fewer hours of daylight. Be sure to set a timer (no more than 4 hours at a time) to avoid burning on the foliage.
Problem: Plant appears droopy & soil is dry & crumbly.
Cause: Not enough watering.
Solution: Water plant thoroughly & give it a nice pep talk!
Problem: Pale or “burnt” looking foliage.
Cause: Too much direct sunlight.
Solution: Move plant out of direct sunlight.
Problem: The plant collapses or looks incredibly droopy with moist soil.
Cause: Overwatering & not enough soil drainage.
Solution: Empty the saucer beneath the pot and let the soil drain. Remove the plant from the pot, add gravel to the bottom of the planter, add perlite to the soil.
Don’t own a Peace Lily? But, you want one? You can purchase one on Amazon or at your local nursery.

Hi! Yes, go ahead and cut off the brown leaves and blooms. It should rejuvenate and new blooms will grow – they are usually pretty tolerant plants. 🙂
