How to Make Your Peace Lily Bloom All Year Round with Rice Water

If you’re new to growing Peace Lilies and are struggling to get them to thrive, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Many people buy this beautiful plant from a flower shop and aren’t sure how to care for it or what kind of fertilizer to use. But I’m here to share a simple and natural technique that will help your Peace Lily flourish, grow healthy, and, most importantly, bloom year-round.

The Secret Ingredient: Rice Water

Rice water is one of the best natural fertilizers you can use for your plants. It’s rich in vitamins, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and boron, making it a fantastic food source for plants. It works particularly well for Peace Lilies, helping them to stay green and healthy while encouraging them to produce beautiful, vibrant flowers.

You don’t need any fancy, expensive fertilizers for this—just a cup of uncooked rice and some water. This simple solution can provide all the nutrients your Peace Lily needs to grow stronger and more vibrant.

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 small cup (about 180 ml) of uncooked rice (any type of rice works)

  • 2 liters of water (preferably chlorine-free)

  • A blender

  • A strainer

  • A container to store the solution

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Rice Water Mixture
    Begin by taking a small cup (about 180 ml) of uncooked rice. Place the rice in a blender and add 2 liters of water. Blend the mixture for about 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes a smooth, milky liquid. The consistency should be light and white, like rice milk.

  2. Strain the Solution
    After blending, strain the rice water through a fine mesh sieve or strainer into a clean container. This step is important because you want to remove any rice residue that might cause mold or attract insects to your plant. You only want the liquid to use on your Peace Lily.

  3. Apply the Rice Water to Your Peace Lily
    Once you have the rice water prepared, it’s time to apply it to your Peace Lily. Pour the rice water into the soil around the base of the plant. Make sure to wet the soil thoroughly, but be careful not to over-saturate it.

How Often Should You Use Rice Water on Your Peace Lily?

For best results, apply rice water to your Peace Lily twice a week if it’s a newer plant or if it has just started blooming. This will help encourage the plant to continue flowering and maintain its vibrant green leaves.

If you’ve had your Peace Lily for a while and it hasn’t been blooming, you can apply the rice water three times a week. This extra application will give the plant the nutrients it needs to kick-start blooming and ensure the flowers develop properly.
