  "account": "Peace lilies often fail to bloom, frustrating owners like myself. However, garden experts have revealed five ways to help these plants thrive and flower. Elizabeth Waddington, a garden designer, explains that slightly adjusting light levels, warmth, water, and other growing conditions can encourage blooms. David Denyer, a florist, notes that peace lilies typically flower in spring and summer, but can flower year-round if well cared for indoors in optimal conditions. Peace lilies can flower multiple times a year under the right circumstances. A peace lily's bloom usually lasts one to two months, turning black or brown afterward. The white portion is not a true flower but a modified leaf called a spathe or bract. To encourage flowering, feed the plant with balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every few weeks during spring and summer, reducing to every 4-6 weeks in winter. Maintain a temperature range of 64 to 80°F (18 to 27°C), as peace lilies are sensitive to temperature changes and drafts. Provide bright, indirect light, not direct sunlight, and humidity levels suitable for tropical plants. Group plants together, use a room humidifier, place on a pebble tray with water, or mist leaves in the morning to increase humidity. Water your peace lily adequately, avoiding overwatering or underwatering.",
