New peace lily flowers emerge from the back of a l New peace lily flowers emerge from the back of a leaf petiole - it looks like the leaf is pregnant - This only happens once the newest leaf has unfurled - existing, older leaves don't produce flowers - So in order to get as many new flowers as possible, you need the plant to grow as many new leaves as possible. Encouraging new leaf growth starts with light - I've had this peace lily for over 10 years so it has been through many different lighting conditions but if I had to summarize the two lighting contexts where it did the best, I'd say: - Natural light, indoors: 1-2 hours direct sun + indirect light in the 200-400 FC range - Grow light (white LED): 400 FC x 14 hours a day - Watered with 3-1-2 fertilizer whenever the soil was about halfway dry (trying not to let it wilt for too long)
