How to Make Your Peace Lily Bloom Continuously with Just One Cup
If you are new to growing peace lilies and want to know how to keep them healthy, green, and blooming year-round, I have a great tip for you! Many people struggle with their peace lilies because they don’t know what to feed them or how to make them thrive. Today I will show you a simple, natural technique that involves using rice water to promote strong, beautiful flowers in your peace lily.
What you will need:
1 small cup of uncooked rice (about 180 ml)
2 liters of water (preferably chlorine-free)
A blender
A fine strainer
A container to store the rice water
Step-by-step instructions:
Prepare the rice solution: Take about 180 ml of uncooked rice. You can use any type of rice, whether it is white, brown, or jasmine rice. The most important thing is to use uncooked rice as it contains all the nutrients that can benefit your plants.
Mix the rice and water: Put the rice in a blender with 2 liters of water. Let the mixture run for about 2 to 3 minutes. After blending, you will notice that the water has turned milky white.
Strain the mixture: Now take a fine sieve or colander and pour the rice-water mixture through it. This will help remove any rice residue that could potentially cause mold or attract unwanted pests to your plants. It is important to strain the water to protect your peace lily from these problems.
Apply the rice water to your peace lily: Now that you have your rice water, it is time to use it. The water contains a number of nutrients such as vitamins, calcium, potassium, magnesium and boron, all of which are important for healthy plant growth. These nutrients will help nourish your peace lily and encourage it to bloom more often.
For a peace lily that is just starting to bloom, apply the rice water twice a week.
If your peace lily has been around for a while and has not bloomed, you may need to apply the rice water three times a week.
