Want Your Peace Lily to Bloom Forever? Here’s What Every Indoor Gardener Should Know

1. Dissolve the baking soda completely in the water.

2. Water your Peace Lily with this solution once every 3–4 weeks.

3. Always pour around the base of the plant—avoid direct contact with the leaves or flowers.

Important: Don’t overdo it. Baking soda is gentle but should be used sparingly. Once a month is more than enough to support blooming without causing stress to the plant.

Other Bloom-Boosting Tips for Peace Lilies

While baking soda helps, consistency in care is key to getting those white blooms to return regularly.

🌞 Light: Peace Lilies need bright, indirect sunlight. Too much shade can prevent blooming, and direct sun can scorch leaves.

💧 Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Peace Lilies hate soggy roots but also suffer if neglected too long.

🌿 Humidity: They love humidity. Mist the leaves or place the pot on a tray with water and pebbles.

🧼 Clean the leaves: Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust, which can block sunlight and reduce photosynthesis.

🌸 Fertilize: Use a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer once a month during growing season (spring/summer).

The Blooming Reward

With this easy routine, including the monthly baking soda trick, you’ll soon notice stronger growth and more frequent flowering. Many indoor gardeners report blooms lasting longer and returning faster after dormancy.

So if you want your Peace Lily to thrive and bloom all year round, now you know the secret. Just a spoonful of a simple ingredient, and a little attention, and your Peace Lily will reward you with lasting beauty.
