What can I do to get my peace lily to flower ?

When I got it ,it was covered in flowers, now 2 years on it hasn't flowered since the original bloom. I feed and water it but no joy. Any ideas ?

They do like to be pot bound, so time and care will solve this one. However, when plants flower profusely it is often because they are under stress and feel it's their last chance to propagate the species. Your plant should be out of summer sunshine, well watered and keep at no less than 15C
Reply:i have one of these and i must admit i havent had any flowers in 2 yrs either ...i since read on YA that a peace lilly loves the steamy atmosphere of a bath room ..and i am amazed to say the leaves look greener and it has really thicken out ...im hoping flowers will arrive sometime in the nr future

Reply:it is a herbaceous plant. so it'll flower next year. It likes to be moist and kept out of direct sunlight also..well rotted manure should give it a boost,butr dont smother it
Reply:Hello, mine went on a right sulk and I thought it was going to die because it was kept in the wrong place. I had it in the living room which thanks to a massive tree outside is dim, and thanks to central heating due to living in England it's dry too. So, I moved it into the bathroom where I'm amazed its decided to flower (only two so far) again. It's quite humid in there obviously, plus the bathroom has no heating in it ever. Also, it only gets maybe an hour or two of direct sunlight a day. I haven't fed it for months (I'm rather neglectful haha) I just keep it well watered, but not too well and dust it once in a while. Oh, to be fair I also repotted it not so long ago too. Perhaps you could take these things into consideration with yours?
