Notes
Apply twice a week for newly bought or starting-to-flower Peace Lilies. Apply three times a week for older Peace Lilies that haven't bloomed in a while. Avoid direct sunlight, keep soil moist but not soggy, and occasionally supplement with organic fertilizer like bone meal or banana peel powder.
