Peace Lily Not Blooming? Try Fertilizer and Epsom Salts

How to Trigger Blooms on a Mature Peace Lily

Jill divided a peace lily 2 years ago. It has large, dark green leaves but won't bloom.

Fertilize monthly with bloom-builder fertilizer.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) on soil before next watering.

This should trigger buds; expect blooms in 2–3 months.
