Peace Lily Fertilizer

Give peace lilies bright, indirect light for the best balance of healthy foliage and flowering. They tolerate lower light, but plants kept too dim often produce few or no flowers. Strong indirect light helps your peace lily make better use of water and nutrients.

Keep the soil evenly moist but not constantly saturated. Water when the upper layer begins to dry instead of waiting for repeated severe wilting. Good drainage is important because chronically wet roots can cause yellow leaves and limit healthy growth.

Use a loose, well-drained indoor potting mix that still holds some moisture. A healthy root zone supports greener leaves and stronger growth, while compacted or waterlogged soil can create problems that extra fertilizer will not solve.

Peace lilies are not heavy feeders. Feed Peace Lily Fertilizer at 1 teaspoon per quart of water, every one to two weeks in spring and summer and about once a month in fall and winter, to provide nutrients for leaves, roots, and flowers. Feeding more often or more strongly increases salt buildup and can contribute to stressed leaf tips.

Remove yellow leaves and spent flower stalks at the base so your peace lily stays tidy and directs energy into healthy growth. If your plant becomes crowded, division can also refresh an oversized clump and create more room for roots.

Flowering depends heavily on adequate light, plant maturity, healthy roots, and steady care. Our fertilizer supports the growth and nutrient supply involved in blooming, but extra fertilizer will not make a peace lily flower if light is too low.
