-
Crush the tablet into a fine powder.
-
Dissolve it completely in the water.
-
Water the Peace Lily with this solution at the base of the plant, avoiding the leaves.
-
Apply once every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring to early autumn).
Avoid overuse—too much can overstimulate growth and lead to weakened stems or nutrient imbalances.
Results to Expect
After the first application, results can start to appear within 7–10 days:
-
Yellowing of leaves slows or stops completely.
-
Leaf color becomes more vibrant and uniformly green.
-
New shoots begin to form at the base.
-
The overall posture of the plant improves, with firmer, upright leaves.
Over time, your Peace Lily will regain its ornamental appearance and may even begin to produce flower stalks again.
Additional Care Tips to Maximize the Effect
To fully support the revival and health of your Peace Lily, consider these essential care practices alongside the tablet treatment:
1. Ensure Proper Drainage
Use a pot with good drainage holes and a well-aerated soil mix. Ideal soil includes peat, perlite, and a touch of compost. This prevents water stagnation and root rot.
2. Avoid Overwatering
Only water when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Peace Lilies dislike constantly soggy roots and can develop fungal issues when overwatered.
3. Provide Bright, Indirect Light
Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light hinders blooming. An east-facing window is often ideal.
4. Maintain Humidity
Spathiphyllum prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist the leaves occasionally or place a humidity tray nearby to maintain moisture in the air.
5. Clean the Leaves
Wipe the leaves every couple of weeks to remove dust, which can block sunlight and reduce the plant’s ability to photosynthesize effectively.
When to Repot
If the plant begins growing rapidly after treatment, you may notice roots crowding at the surface or poking through drainage holes. This is a sign that it’s time to repot into a container one size larger. Choose fresh soil and avoid damaging the roots during transplanting.
Conclusion
