## 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!
