How many times does a peace lily bloom in a year?

i have had my peace lily for 4 years now and never bloomed until i moved and had more light for it....it has bloomed 6 times in a the past year and now it seems its blooming on after another..i love it!!!! how do i get it to bloom mutiples now???How many times does a peace lily bloom in a year?
It depends. Its a tropical plant. If you keep it inside (warm, no colder than 50 degrees F) and in a sunny spot near a window. And, you fertilize it with plant food or your basic 10-10-10 works too. It should bloom continuously. The crucial thing is that when you water it, make sure the soil is completely dry. Wait to water until the soil is dry to about 1-1.5 inches deep in the soil. You can wait also, until the leaves just begin to wilt. Then water it, I mean soak it! Thats how you should water all plants. It is a tiny bit stressful to the plant but it makes them stronger and bloom more.
