Fertilizing

 

Peacelilies are able to come back to life and reinforce blooming when routine fertilization is practiced. But this has to be done in the right way:

In some cases, however, a peace lily grows too large for its pot. There is space for more soil to be placed around the inner part of the pot, and for the roots.

Choose the Right Pot: Take a pot one inch or two inch in wider circumference than the previous pot. Make sure it comes with drainage holes.

Use Fresh Potting Mix: Peace lilies require potting mix that is well-drained. Buy one that is specifically meant for houseplants.

Carefully Remove the Plant: Carefully separate the root ball and pull out any dead or decayed roots. Place the flower back in its pot and cover any gaps with fresh soil, but do not bury the root ball.
