## 7. Common Mistakes Peace Lily Owners Make

Here are the most common pitfalls that prevent peace lilies from blooming—even when they’re otherwise healthy.

### ❌ Overwatering:

Leads to root rot, yellowing leaves, and eventual decline.

### ❌ Using Tap Water:

Peace lilies dislike chlorine and fluoride. Use filtered or dechlorinated water if possible.

### ❌ Keeping in Low Light:

They survive in shade, but won’t bloom. They need light to photosynthesize and trigger blooms.

### ❌ No Feeding:

If you’re not using any fertilizer or organic feed, blooming slows or stops. Peace lilies need nutrients!
