My peace lilies won't bloom?

I received peace lilies from my father's funeral. I eventually had to repot them and they have never bloomed again no matter what water, fertilizer, etc. I use. The leaves are always green and beautiful but no blooms! Any more suggestions?My peace lilies won't bloom?
Try starvation!Over feeding and over watering will produce foliage at the expense of flowering.


Put the plant into the smallest pot which will accommodate the root ball,keep in good light,but not in direct sunlight,somewhere quite cool.(i.e.not on a sunny windowsill,or near a radiator).


If the compost is kept moist,without being sodden this will aid flowering.


Take offshoots from around the edge of the existing plant and insert in a 2-2.5 pot.New plants flower best,older ones tend to exhaust their energy in the first flowering.My peace lilies won't bloom?
A peace lily will not usually send up blooms again until it is pot bound which will make you want to toss it out because by that time, you will have a hard time keeping it watered. The only way to remedy that is to re-pot into a bigger pot which means no blooms until it fills up that pot and the cycle starts all over again. I have heard that there is a spray that the growers use to make the plant flower, but it is not available to the public. Be happy with your green leaves.
usually a sunny window is what they need. they tolerate darkness and will stay nice, but they will not bloom unless they get some bright light. also they seem to bloom more during the winter than the summer, but has scattered blooms all year.
let it get more sunlight. but avoid full sun exposure.
poor winter light...give them a holiday outside in summer they bloom like crazy or failing that strong indirect sunlight indoors %26amp; don't over feed!! it'll just encourage to produce lush growth ,sacrificing the flowers.
more sunlight and patience. the florist maxxed it out, now it has to recover
