If the peace lily is placed in low light in wont flower well place in a bright to medium light did you cut off the old flower stalks that will allow it to bloom also use flowering plant fertilize during growing season. The christmas cactus will only flower around christmasAfter blooming keep soil dryer and with hold fertilizer. It often blooms again later in winter.

Subject plant to 14 hours of uninterrupted darkness each night for 6-8 weeks, around the middle of October. Avoiding changing plant location once it starts setting blooms it will abort its flowers if light is changed, or a drafty location.hope this helps you any plantpro25!

I believe the christmas cactus also needs temps below 10deg celcius at night for it to flower again (don't take that as gospel, but I looked on the web for this a while back).

As for peace lily; I've got one that I bought new and no flowers for ages; but it's just sprouted a new flower (so maybe just a long cooling off period between flowers?)

Also check the nutrient ratios on the fert..you are using... if you want blossoms don't use a high nitrogen fert...
Buy a fertilizer for plants that bear fruit..a common practice is to use tomato food... it has higher phosphorus and potassium content. This is referred to as the N-P-K ratio... nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium...P and K are beneficial for root and fruit(flower) production...when mixing fertilizer be careful to measure correctly...in fact it's safest to make a weak mixture... Check the light requirements for the plants...give them a google and be sure to note temp requirements too. And lastly, some plants will take a break after flowering...just need a little rest... usually that will coincide with the natural cycle of the fall and winter months... that is something else to check when you search the requirements of your plants. Some plants like some cacti, schlumbergia have specific light requirements( day length) to bring them into flower..Check out your plants on google/wikipedia or whatever...you'll be glad you did. .

I thought I had answered you - but maybe that was not sufficient, or I misunderstood... If the plants are otherwise healthy and flourishing, maybe you are feeding them too often - this can have the effect of producing lush growth at the expense of flowers. Be patient, they may have been forced by the growers and need time to settle back to a domestic routine!

Christmas Cacti need feeding and watering, and also benefit from being put outside in the summer. (HAHA) Then, they should flourish and flower for many years. You can re-pot them in the spring. Peace Lilies need shade in the house, they also like a feed occasionally. Maybe your plants just need a bit of TLC?
