[INDOOR-GARDENING:435] Re: Peace Lily

I have a nice peace lily that blooms quite often!  It was very beautiful at Christmas time and I received many compliments on it!  The flowers have since faded away, but are starting to appear again!  I keep mine in a clay pot on the hearth of my fireplace.  It receives sun from a southern window, but from a distance of about 6 feet.  It is also closer to the floor, where the temperatures are a bit cooler.  I water the plant when the soil is dry, and about once a month place it in the kitchen sink and drench it with water and wipe the leaves to remove the dust.  I lightly feed it with Miracle Grow every time I water.

Perhaps your plant is too wet, and receiving too much light?

Try letting it get a little drier for a short while. My neighbor has one,
and leaves it with us when she goes away. It always flowers under our care,
perhaps because of a change in watering or temperature.
