Peace lily, forget water: water it with it and it will serve you forever.

What looks like a flower is actually a vagina—a modified leaf that wraps around the real flower and protects it. Growing peace lilies is simple when you know the right conditions and the secrets to maintaining their vitality.

Keeping Peace Lily Blooming: Basic Tips The following tips not only help your peace lily thrive, but they also apply to other plants, especially those that struggle to bloom again after purchase. Often, a lack of nutrients is the cause of this problem.

Here’s how you can create a homemade liquid fertilizer: Start by mixing a fresh aloe vera leaf with two to three liters of water. Once mixed, strain the solution to remove any remaining thorns, then use it to water your plants. When applied every two weeks, this aloe vera fertilizer can significantly improve your plant’s growth.

Prefer not to use a blender, simply remove the gel from the aloe vera leaf and mix it with water by hand, eliminating the need for straining.

Additional Tips for Caring for a Healthy Peace Lily In addition to homemade fertilizer, there are a few other things to consider to ensure your peace lily stays healthy and vibrant:

Temperature: Ideal conditions are between 18 and 25°C. The plant does not tolerate cold below 15°C, but can withstand heat up to 30°C. Light: Peace lilies prefer bright, indirect light. Soil: Choose a slightly acidic substrate that contains peat, bark flakes, and sand. Location: Avoid drafts or tight spaces to ensure optimal growth.
