How to cause a Peace Lily to bloom again?

I know they need more water than other plants, and really droop when you have forgotten them, which often causes them to stop blooming. Can you bring the blooms back after that? Fertilizer maybe?

How to cause a Peace Lily to bloom again?
Once the blooms are damaged they usually do not come back. But give the plant about 12 hr of light and 12 hr of darkness. Bright light but not direct sun. Water when the top inch of soil is dry and fertilize about once a month with a liquid fert like Shultz or Miracle Grow. If you do these things you should start to get new blooms.
Reply:use a fertilizer high in phosphate. osmocote brand has a great slow release fertilizer. you can find it at wal-mart or home depot.

but don't over fertilize!
