Thanks for this video! I gave up on my Peace Lily's, no matter how much I cared for them, had 2, they were not completely happy🥲. So I moved the 2 to my parents' house and they started to brighten up, unfortunately one didn't make it in the end. The other one is thriving, so I decided to keep it at my parents' house. Maybe someday I'll get another Peace Lily, when I moved to a bigger house, but for now I'm good and enjoying my Peace Lily whenever I visit my parents😁
spathiphyllum tend not to bloom all year round despite being advertised to and seeming to do so when you see them in store, this is because a lot of nurseries that supply them spray them with a hormone that encourages them to bloom before shipping them off. so don't worry too much if your lily isn't blooming all year round, chances are it will eventually if you are patient and keep looking after it well :)
They are all doing OK but growing and maturng very slowly, I think they need more intensive light and heat to push them on to flowering. I'm thinking now that they will grow faster staying with the mother.
I left on vacation twice recently, and thought I had left enough water. Upon my both my return’s I thought I killed it. She survived. I now use a self watering pot with Leca in the reservoir so my Var. Peace Lily can drink as much water as needed. Lol
Feeding once a month could give your peace lily green flowers (spaths). Also there are different species of this plant who need quite the same care but have different looks and behavior. I have an adult plant with much darker leaves than your example, with thicker leaves and spaths (flowers) and it grows quite bushy but stops at around 45cm height. I get 2 sets of 3 flowers/spaths during summer and autumn every year. Mine also loves a spray of water everyday onto leaves in summer aka being kept free of dust. Yours is quite generic advice you could just google and read up in a minute.
One of my flowers has gone brown & wilted, what do I do please? P S. My mother sent me this & is praying for it as I'm not very good with plants😱so any info would be much appreciated, plus she can stop praying & checking up on it on a weekly basis ❤
It's hard to know without knowing about the watering routine, light situation etc. The flowers only last so long before they die and another one will come out so maybe cut this one back and see how it goes. Please send my regards to your mother.
Watering tips are helpful! I got what you said about they preform better in nursery, but mine grew several really small flowers and bloomed. Are they being small because there are two big ones took over nutrients? Or it’s just lack of sunlight?
That's great to hear if you managed to get several smaller flowers that's a sign that you have given your plant the best possible conditions, the size of the flowers can be dependent on both the amount of light and the nutrients, if you have several flowers growing back I would say your lighting is probably right, maybe you could experiment with a slightly higher level of fertilizer and see if that increases the flower size in the next season? if you are using 10-10-10 NPK maybe you could try 20-20-20 and see what difference that makes, but work up in strength slowly as too much can be harmful too. In general, to get Peace Lily to reflower at all is a good result so you are doing well so far. :-) Let us know how you get on. Andy
I have had my peace lily for 2 months. It had one large flower. It thrived into 5 flowers but now my plant is drooping and the leaves are turning yellow. I was watering once a week. The weather turned cloudy and cold again for the last 3 weeks. That was a change. I used tap water to water it. I had been using bottled water. It continues to wilt and yellow. I looked at the roots and the bottom is dry. Should I give it a lot of water and get it good and wet?
if the roots are dry I would say give it a good water and make sure all of the soil and roots are getting the water, a little water is not enough to get to all the roots.
Spring? I'm not sure if it ever gets cold in Oz so maybe not appropriate but whn the plant goes from cold months to the beggining of the warmer months. Maybe from your prespective going from hot to hotter!

My new comfort yt channel - just a kind, beautiful guy who loves his plants :)
This comment wins the internet for me this week! 🙏
THIS is what I needed!! I was leaving my peace lily dry before watering it again and it didn’t seem to work well on it. Thanks for the advice!!
Mine doesn't bloom. Don't know why.

Hi there. Could you please post an update on your bromeliad propagation from 2 years ago? I am wondering if the pups ever bloomed?
They are all doing OK but growing and maturng very slowly, I think they need more intensive light and heat to push them on to flowering. I'm thinking now that they will grow faster staying with the mother.
I left on vacation twice recently, and thought I had left enough water. Upon my both my return’s I thought I killed it. She survived. I now use a self watering pot with Leca in the reservoir so my Var. Peace Lily can drink as much water as needed. Lol
That's a good idea.

I pruned my peace lily aggressively and it never grew back. 😢
Top tips 👌🏼. Thanks Andy.
Any time Matthew! :-)
Which month is the "beginning of the season"? I'm from Australia
