How to Care for Peace Lilies (Spathiphyllum)
ADVERTISEMENT
My peace lily is standing in the bedroom and in winter gets morning sun. She needs watering about twice a week and leaves are very healthy. I fertilise with pot plant liquid fertiliser once a quarter yet no flowers. Lots of light but to no avail.
Can I put my peace lily outside for the summer? It would be on a northside porch with a roof. If any sun it is late afternoon only.
That sounds like it would be a great place for a peace lily. Just watch that the soil stays moist in the summer heat!
I have not fertilized my Peace Lily, but the blooms are turning green. Any suggestions?
Thank you.
Hi Jo, Thanks for your question. Over fertilization is indeed a common issue when peace lily blooms turn green, but there are other reasons that can lead to blooms turning green instead of the gorgeous white we are accustomed to.
One of those reasons is low light. Peace lilies do best with bright, indirect sunlight and it is good to place them within a few feet of a window, but out of direct sunlight. It is also important to remember that peace lily blooms do turn green as they age. Depending on the species, some blooms will turn more green as they age.
