New peace lily flowers emerge from the back of a leaf petiole - it looks like the leaf is pregnant
-
This only happens once the newest leaf has unfurled - existing, older leaves don't produce flowers
-
So in order to get as many new flowers as possible, you need the plant to grow as many new leaves as possible. Encouraging new leaf growth starts with light
-
I've had this peace lily for over 10 years so it has been through many different lighting conditions but if I had to summarize the two lighting contexts where it did the best, I'd say:
-
Natural light, indoors: 1-2 hours direct sun + indirect light in the 200-400 FC range
-
Grow light (white LED): 400 FC x 14 hours a day
-
Watered with 3-1-2 fertilizer whenever the soil was about halfway dry (trying not to let it wilt for too long)

2016? I remember it fondly!
-
It was the time when I lived in the house where House Plant Journal began - with the beautiful skylights
-
Just got engaged - we always explored greenhouses together!
-
Videos on Instagram had recently started - I was having fun with plant time lapses.
-
Plants I still have: Monstera deliciosa (now on its second top cutting); Money tree; Peace lily (now in 12" pot up from 6"); Rabbit foot fern (now in black hockey mask)

Every winter, my basement laundry area gets a little cramped from overwintering my big Monstera but works to keep it alive until spring!
