Strain the Liquid: Use a fine strainer to filter the liquid into a clean container. This step is essential—if rice particles remain in the solution, they can lead to mold growth or attract fungus gnats when applied to the soil.
Water the Plant: Use the strained rice water to water your Peace Lily thoroughly, making sure the soil is evenly moist but not waterlogged.
How Often to Apply:
-
For newly bought Peace Lilies or those just starting to flower: Apply the rice water fertilizer twice a week.
-
For older Peace Lilies that haven’t bloomed in a while: Apply three times a week for best results.
You’ll begin to notice stronger leaves, a richer green color, and eventually, more flowers appearing—even on plants that previously seemed dull or lifeless.
Additional Peace Lily Care Tips:
While rice water can do wonders for your Peace Lily, it’s also important to follow a few basic care practices to ensure your plant thrives:
-
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Peace Lilies are shade-loving, indoor plants. Exposure to direct sun can scorch the leaves, cause flowers to fade, and even lead to stunted growth. Place them in bright, indirect light for optimal health.
