A balanced, all-purpose fertilizer with an equal ratio of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) will encourage overall plant health and promote flowering.
Phosphorus is essential for flowering, so selecting a fertilizer with a higher middle number (such as 10-30-10) can specifically help promote blooms in Peace Lilies.
Fertilize your Peace Lily once every 4-6 weeks during the active growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant is dormant.
Over-fertilizing can harm your plant. Always dilute the fertilizer to half strength, especially for Peace Lilies, as they are sensitive to excess nutrients.
Organic fertilizers, like fish emulsion or compost tea, are gentle on plants and can provide slow-release nutrients, giving your Peace Lily the right boost for consistent flowering.
If your Peace Lily is stressed (due to pests, temperature fluctuations, or poor soil), avoid fertilizing until the plant recovers, as it might not benefit from the added nutrients.
To prevent fertilizer burn, always water the Peace Lily thoroughly after applying fertilizer to help the nutrients absorb properly and avoid damage to the roots.
