If you’re new to growing Peace Lilies and struggling to get them to flower or stay healthy, this simple homemade solution can make a big difference. This natural fertilizer uses a basic kitchen ingredient—uncooked rice—and it’s especially helpful for recently purchased Peace Lilies or those that haven’t bloomed in a while.
Why Rice Water?
Rice water is a powerful, natural fertilizer. It’s rich in essential nutrients such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, and boron. These elements are crucial for plant development and are particularly beneficial for Peace Lilies. They help strengthen the plant’s structure, promote vibrant green foliage, and encourage more frequent and abundant blooming.
