Peace lilies will flourish with 'frequent blooms' if they're placed in 1 area of the home
Peace lilies are fussy houseplants that require warm temperatures and regular watering. Getting your peace lily to flower can be difficult, but a gardening expert has shared that simply repositioning it could encourage it to bloom.
Peace lilies are popular houseplants that are known for being dramatic. If they're under-water or unhappy, they will droop, making them appear dead. When they're in bloom, peace lilies produce beautiful white flowers called spathes. However, getting peace lilies to bloom regularly can be difficult. Insufficient light, improper watering and low humidity are just some of the reasons why peace lilies fail to produce flowers.
While regularly feeding your peace lily will encourage it to flower, there's actually one simple change that is more effective. With this in mind, Loren Taylor, the owner of Outdoor Fountain Pros, has shared the best way to ensure your peace lily produces "frequent blooms" in spring.

Loren said: "Peace lilies thrive in spring, producing brighter leaves and frequent blooms when placed in medium to bright indirect light.
"Keep the soil moist but allow the top half to dry before watering again, and maintain high humidity with misting or a humidifier.
"For best results, feed them monthly with a balanced fertiliser during spring and summer, and keep them at 60–80°F, away from drafts or direct heat sources."
Jo Lambell, the founder of Beards & Daisies, agrees that peace lilies "love" bright, indirect light.
She added: "A sunny windowsill that isn’t too hot or bright is perfect."

However, she also said if the leaves start to burn, that's a sign that your peace lily is getting too much direct sunlight.
As well as sunlight, peace lilies need regular watering to keep them happy, but not too much.
Jo continued: "They like to be kept on the moist side, but not soggy. Water them thoroughly when the top of the soil feels dry to the touch.
"And remember, peace lilies are a bit dramatic, if they’re thirsty, their leaves will droop to let you know, so don’t panic."
