I have had my peace lily for 8 years now. The only 2 times i got it to bloom was when i had forgotten to water it for ages then when I did it was probably so thankful it produced a flower. Now I don't know what to do as tried that and it doesn't work. I separated him (his name is Bert) into some smaller plants about 2 years ago, but I kept the heart and although he is a nice size. No blooms.

I have had no luck with my Peace Lilly blooming. I have had it for two years now. My mother on the other hand talked to hers everyday and it never bloomed either, so she told it to either bloom or she was going to throw it in the lake, it put on 6 blooms and she told it that it could do better, it put on 21 blooms last summer. WOW I am still waiting on mine to bloom. I threathened to throw mine in the pond, but I think mine know I was kidding. Blooms or no blooms, they are very nice plants.

Mine at work is 3 years old and has gotten so big I had to divide it in order to keep the planters in a place they can get indirect sunlight. Sometimes I over water, sometimes I under water. Either way this is the first time mine has bloomed. It had gotten very dry and then my friend watered it while I was gone on Christmas. She not only over watered it but also heavily fed it .. probably more than I would have. I think it's the combo of going from barely happy to really wet and fed that may have "suddenly jump started it".

I went on holiday for a couple of weeks and when I returned home I discovered that my Peace Lily was really drooped and the soil was really dry then I realised I couldn't remember the last time I watered it so I watered it and about 5 hours later it was back to its old self but a couple of days later I discovered a bloom bare in it hadn't bloomed in months and it hasn't had another bloom since and I hope I haven't damaged it

Everyone that mentions about not overwatering the plant is WRONG. Peace Lilies are actually WATER plants. They can thrive in soil with regular watering OR they can thrive in water. I have two... one is in dirt and I water it weekly and the other I bought, cleaned the dirt carefully off of the roots and it sits in a vase that only has water and decorative clear stones in it.
So the amount of water has nothing to do with the lily blooming or not.

I would agree with Jennifer, I let my peace lily show the first signs of drooping and then water it. I bought it as quite a small plant and it is now thriving 3 years on!

We have 2 soggy peace lilies that were put outside to drain for just minutes on a very cold night. They are both totally drooped. Is there a chance to save them?

Our library's 2 beautiful big peace lillies were ove rwatered & then put outside for a few minutes when they over flooded in the library. the temp was about 16 degrees. They are now 2 big droopy messes. We brought them to a warm room to dry out. If they don't come back should we cut down the leaves? Help

To get my peace lily to bloom, I used to water it like It should and I put the Miracle-Gro plant spikes into it. It bloomed a lot! And maybe that it does need to be in a peaceful location to bloom. But now it seems like I can't get it to bloom like it used to. And it is in the same location it has been in for 5 years. This peace lily is very very very humongous too. So big it takes two men to pick it up! But it is in the right conditions! Included an image of my Peace lily just to show how big it is! How can i get it to bloom ?

I have heard it said that the reason they call them "Peace Lilys" is because they only bloom in peacefull areas.

My Peace Lily hasn't bloomed. In looking into this, I recently learned that some peace lilies are selected more for their foliage, so if yours doesn't bloom, it may be a foliage variety. I also learned that in too little light they will bloom much less, so although they can tolerate low light conditions, they prefer (indirect) light.

I let mine show the first signs of "drooping" then I water and it blooms all year. I feed every three months so so.

Do not overwater, and peace lilies like low light. A hi nitogen fertilizer at half strength will encourage blooms.
