Miranda,
I am afraid that is a new one on me. I tend to be traditional when it comes to fertilizer, relying on the primary nutrients of N, P and K along with a few trace elements. Since I am unfamiliar with the composition of gelatin, I can’t recommend it. From what I know of gelatin, it is derived from animals bones and connective tissue and therefore probably contains some phosphorous. So, it shouldn’t hurt the peace lily, but won’t give it the balanced nutrition it needs.
If you still plan to use gelatin, be sure it is unflavored and does not contain artificial sweeteners.
Hope this information was helpful.
