Peace lily is 'more likely' to bloom again with two simple changes
Peace lilies can flower multiple times in one year with the right conditions.
Peace lilies are fairly easy to care for, as long as you make sure they have the right conditions to thrive. However, even if your plant is looking lush and green, you might notice that it hasn't flowered in a while.
Peace lilies typically flower once or twice a year, but these dramatic plants will only flower if they are happy with their environment.

But, with the right surroundings and conditions, one plant expert says that it might be possible to get your peace lily to bloom again before the end of the flowering season.
Summer Rayne Oakes is a botanical expert from New York, who runs a plant care series on YouTube called Plant One On Me. She explained: "Peace lilies typically bloom once a year, and it's usually between January and August. They are rather sporadic as to when they actually flower."
She notes, though, that by moving your plant to an area which helps it maintain two key factors, you might be lucky enough to see another pretty white flower bloom.

According to Summer, both temperature and shade play a crucial role. "The most suitable nighttime temperatures for flower bud initiation and flowering is around 20C," she said.
"Because it is so close to what we keep our home temperatures at then it is likely we can get the plant to re-bloom again.
"In greenhouse conditions, the plant is usually under about 30 percent shade which usually gives the best bloom results for the plant.
"With that amount of information, you can usually determine where is the best location in your home so you can get them to re-bloom again."
On top of this, the expert also pointed out that during the day your plant needs good light, moisture and humidity.
Peace lilies like to get enough sunshine but should be placed in indirect sunlight. If they are placed in an area with too much sun it can end up burning your plant and its leaves.
Your plant also needs regular watering, but make sure not to overwater it. Peace lilies need consistently moist soil, but they do not like to sit in water. You can check if your peace lily needs watering by touching the soil.
Whenever the top inch of soil is dry, it needs to be watered. Make sure your plant also has room to drain.
