11 Ways to Get Your Peace Lily to Bloom

🌡️ 6. Keep Temperatures Stable

Peace lilies prefer a cozy, stable environment.

  • Ideal range: 65–80°F (18–26°C)

  • Avoid cold drafts, sudden temperature drops, or placing near heat vents.

🌡️ Temperature stress = bloom delay.


✂️ 7. Prune Spent Flowers & Yellow Leaves

Deadheading keeps your plant looking neat and encourages new blooms.

  • Remove faded flowers at the base

  • Snip yellow or dying leaves with clean scissors

This redirects energy into new growth and flowering.


🪴 8. Provide Proper Soil

Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix to promote healthy roots.

  • The soil should retain moisture but drain well

  • Avoid heavy, compacted soils

Tip: Add perlite or orchid bark for improved drainage.


🪟 9. Consider the Pot Size

Peace lilies like to be a bit root-bound—but not too much.

  • Too small = restricted growth and few blooms

  • Too large = risk of soggy soil and root rot

Choose a pot that fits snugly but still allows moderate root expansion.
