Peace lily...only my thoughts.
Recently I posted a question re my peace lily.  It seemed quite healthy
except for some browning on the leaves which, as I learned, was because
of lack of soil being consistently moist.  I now have each peace lily,
3, on small rocks in their trays.  I keep the rocks covered with water.
Additionally, I spray the leaves every day.

As for blooming, I fertilize with Schultz's 10-60-10..  It's called
Blooming Plus.  This seems to work for me.  Good luck.

Are there any social workers/theripists *out there* involved with 
plants (horticulture therapy) as a treatment (or adjunct treatment)
modality?

This is my favorite list.  Welcome to fall (-;

Linda
