Introduction
Spathiphyllum, commonly known as the Peace Lily, is a favorite among indoor plant lovers for its elegant white blooms and glossy foliage. But what if your Peace Lily—or any houseplant—has been growing more leaves than flowers? This simple, surprising, and budget-friendly DIY formula might just be the bloom booster you need. Let’s explore how one spoonful and two tablets can make a visible difference in just a few weeks!
Ingredients
1 spoon (approx. 1 tablespoon) of sugar
2 aspirin tablets (325 mg each)
1 liter of room-temperature water
(Optional) A small pinch of ground cinnamon for antifungal protection
Preparation
Crush the two aspirin tablets into a fine powder using the back of a spoon or a mortar and pestle.
In a jug, dissolve the crushed aspirin and sugar into 1 liter of water.
Stir thoroughly until fully mixed.
Optionally, add a pinch of cinnamon to help protect the roots from rot and fungal infections.
How to Use
Water your Spathiphyllum or other flowering houseplants with this solution once every two weeks.
Make sure the soil is slightly moist before application to avoid shock.
Avoid overwatering—only use this solution as a replacement for regular watering during one cycle.
Serving and Storage Tips
Store any leftover solution in a sealed container in a cool, dark place for up to one week.
Shake before each use to redistribute any settled ingredients.
