Why do my plants only flower when they new. eg. Christmas cactus and peace lily?

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?)

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?
