I split the original plant last spring by simply cutting it in half and repotting into new soil/compost. The two plants are both healthy and continually send out new leaves, but neither has flowered this year. What can I do to help them flower?
I have a peace lily (indoor) that I split in the spring. It%26#039;s healthy but has not flowered this year. Why?
They like to be tightly compacted in the pot to flower.
Reply:Move them to less light. Spaths are spastic, they prefer lower light to initiate flowers.
Reply:with splitting them, they will flower the following year.instead of splitting, you should have transfered to a larger pot.
Reply:From past experience i have found they tend not to flower for at least 12 months when first split, it will bloom next year
Reply:Don%26#039;t worry, it is as Big Wullie says. They are also spending most of their energy growing roots again and will become healthier for it. You did the right thing :-)
Reply:I%26#039;m guessing maybe from the shock of splitting it. It probably wont this year but I can guarantee that it will next year with some TLC from you!
Reply:Has Sugar eaten the flower part...?
Reply:no one else who responded here knows that when the flowers are spent you should cut the stalk of the flower off near the leaf and let it dry completely .. every now and then try to tug the stalk out . when it is ready it will pop out easily.. when it does the plant will push out a new flower at that spot..

Reply:Your peace lily being split is just like you or i after an operation we need a rest before getting on with life again, it is having a rest, feed it and let is build its self up again naturally.
Reply:I am looking at my peace lily right now that I have had 13 years. Its as big as a kitchen table. You did good by splitting it. Dont worry a bit about it not flowering. It will again. I have always watered mine with WARM water and it blooms all year long. I got this hint from a local Lily and hosta grower. Give it a bit of miracle grow a couple times a month. I disagree with the no light. Mine love indirect sun light. Its quite the conversation plant at my house. Happy lily growing to you.
