Keeping Your Peace Lily Flourishing: Essential Tips The following tips not only help peace lilies thrive, but are also applicable to other plants, particularly those that have a hard time reblooming 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. After mixing, strain the solution to remove any remaining thorns, then use it to water your plants. This aloe-based fertilizer, used biweekly, can significantly improve your plant’s growth.
If you prefer not to use a blender, simply extract the gel from the aloe leaf and mix it with water manually, eliminating the need to strain.
Additional Care Tips for a Healthy Peace Lily In addition to homemade fertilizer, a few more considerations are needed to ensure your peace lily stays healthy and vibrant:
Temperature: Ideal conditions range from 18-25°C. The plant struggles with cold below 15°C, but can tolerate up to 30°C in heat. Light: Peace lilies prefer bright, indirect light. Soil: Opt for a slightly acidic substrate that includes peat moss, bark flakes, and sand. Placement: Avoid drafty or overly cramped spaces to ensure optimal growth.
