These tips will not only help your peace lily thrive but can also be used for other plants, especially those that struggle to rebloom after being purchased. This problem often comes from a lack of nutrients.
Here’s how to create your own homemade liquid fertilizer: Start by blending a fresh aloe leaf with 7-12 liters of water. After blending, strain the solution to remove any remaining pulp, and then use it to water your plants. This aloe-based fertilizer, used twice a week, can significantly improve your plant’s growth.
If you don’t want to use a blender, you can simply scoop the gel from the aloe leaf and mix it by hand with water. This way, you won’t need to strain it.
More Tips to Keep Your Peace Lily Healthy
Besides the homemade fertilizer, here are a few other things to keep in mind to ensure your peace lily stays healthy and full of life:
- Temperature: The ideal temperature is 18–25°C (64-77°F). The plant won’t tolerate temperatures below 15°C (59°F), but can handle heat up to 30°C (86°F).
- Light: Peace lilies prefer bright, indirect light.
- Soil: Choose slightly acidic soil with peat, bark flakes, and sand.
- Location: Avoid drafts and cramped spaces for optimal growth.
