I was given this Peace Lilly as a gift 2 years ago and I haven seen a bloom since. I've repoted it twice since. She's been out on my deck all summer (covered deck-not in direct sun light) I water her with distilled water when Planta tells me to, but when she was outside I did do it more often because she dried out a bit more often. She looks pretty. Full, and dark, lush leaves. A few of the tips are brown. But not a single bloom. I really want to take a bloom and start a hydroponics, so I've been impatiently waiting. HELP!

    I am super-new to raising plant-babies, so if this is the wrong fertilizer, please let me know!

    Usually when a peace lily doesn’t produce any flowers, it’s because it’s not getting enough light. As for fertilizing, you can use Miracle Gro all purpose plant food. That’s fine. However, Miracle Gro makes a bloom booster flower food that’s a 15-30-15 fertilizer. The higher amount of phosphorus compared to nitrogen promotes blooming in flowering tropicals like your peace lily.

      @SurfsideSeeding is plant food and fertilizer the same thing? One has no numbers and the other does. I’m not sure.

      Yes, it’s the same thing. Manufacturers use the term “plant food” on consumer garden products. “Fertilizer” is the technical term. If the product you’re using is supplying your plants with nutrients, it should have the NPK numbers or a guaranteed analysis somewhere on the label.
