What to Do With Your Peace Lily in July – 5 Things to Encourage More Blooms and Even Glossier Foliage

Peace lily flowers.

Summer is such an exciting time in the indoor garden, with houseplants looking bright and having lots of new growth. But, without careful maintenance, the hotter room temperatures and humid air can cause problems. This is especially true for sensitive plants like the peace lily.

If you grow a peace lily in your home, then July calls for some close attention. Spring flower spikes may be fading, so some light pruning is needed to encourage reblooming later in the season. Likewise, regular watering and fertilizing will help encourage glossy foliage and new flowers (especially if you use a specific peace lily fertilizer, like this from Amazon). It's also important to check for pests this month, as they thrive in warmer conditions.
