How to Increase Spathiphyllum Bloom


Water, electricity, temperature and more. Here’s what to look out for in order for Spathiphyllum to bloom.

Spathiphyllum, also known as peace lily, is a very common and beloved houseplant, known especially for its characteristic white flower.

If you want to enjoy these beautiful flowers, there are some things to know about it.

Let’s see which ones.

  1. Period: Spathiphyllum normally blooms twice a year; in early spring and early fall. Obviously, this aspect can change depending on the variety of the plant.
  2. Plant age: The flowering Spathiphyllum is normally a mature plant (from 12 months), in the middle of its development. Plants that are too young do not yet have all the necessary elements to produce flowers.
  3. Light: As with all plants, light is also one of the most important factors for its well-being and therefore for its flowering. Spathiphyllum, in particular, likes indirect light so it can be kept indoors not too far from a large window.
  4. Nutrients: If not fed well, the Spathiphyllum plant will definitely struggle in the flowering phase. To this end, it is therefore advisable to supplement with organic fertilizers, regularly and periodically.
  5. Temperature: Spathiphyllum is a plant that is also known for its ability to withstand heat. Its ideal temperature can also reach a maximum of 24 degrees.
  6. Water: Watering too little or too much can cause discomfort to the plant. The best way to know when to give your Spathiphyllum water is to feel the soil and make sure it’s moist just inches below the surface.
  7. Repotting: Very often, even the soil that shelters the plant can play an important role. If you haven’t done it yet, or if you haven’t done it in a long time, try repotting with new soil.
