Best Fertilizer for Peace Lily

Use a balanced 10-10-10 or 20-20-20 liquid fertilizer at quarter strength every 6-8 weeks during the growing season. Peace lilies are sensitive to over-fertilization, less is more. Brown leaf tips are the most common sign of excess salts from fertilizer. Flush the soil with plain water monthly to prevent salt buildup. For blooming, some growers use a bloom-booster (10-30-20) at quarter strength once in spring.
