I just picked one up that was closer to dead than alive. I watered it in the garden area and then shopped. I kept getting oddball looks for carrying this dead plant around. 😅 Thank you for your knowledge. Fingers crossed, I can revive this. Just rescuing it from the abuse at the store and watering it made A huge difference. It makes me sad to see Carts of plants going to the trash compactor at stores. Why they won’t hire someone who loves plants and their care is such A huge loss of income and regular repeat clientele
I received a huge one for my father's funeral in October... my grandkids kept messing with it and put holes in most of the leaves...I was finally able to put a stop to that but my plant had alot of dead leaves...I then thought of repotting it but my daughter in law brought me some cheap soil so I had to use the same soil it had as well and I had to check for root rot... I ended up taking it all apart but when I tried to repot it all the leaves were drooping and I could get it to recover...I finally bought Miracle grow soil, took everything out and tried to put it back but to no avail....I finally made the decision to cut off all the leaves, every single one... I'm hanging on to hope alone that at least some of it will survive... at least now I can at least get the stalks to stand straight instead of falling over the way they were with the huge leaves... I'm so sad
Soaked banana skins in container leave for a few days It’s pure potassium which the Lily loves. I add water to container so it’s not too strong. It also makes the Lily bloom
And you place the banana peels themselves over the soil? Just clarifying; I love the idea of utilizing our home produce (which is mostly organic) to help bolster my houseplants. Sounds like the way it's supposed to work. I also read people saying soak the banana skins completely in water and use that water for the plant?
Ya cause bananas carry all the nutrients (almost)... humans can actually live on them for a long time as well. Didnt know you can use them in plants.. makes sense. :) Bless
the day after I got my peace lily I repotted it in freezing cold, very damp and old soil and then right after that I propagated a new plant in the same soil. I was really scared that they would die but so far they seem to be healthy and now I have two peace lilys. I don’t know what my point is but that’s my experience with peace lilys
They are super easy to propagate and repot. I got one from a family funeral almost twenty years ago. They keep growing, I keep repotting and keep propagating them. When taken out of the pot the root separation is easy to see and then just replant. I've given 8-10 people plants and I have 2 that are about 3 feet in diameter. They are pretty easy to keep alive but require some effort and proper watering to look nice and bloom often.
Good light and good water are key! Purify the tap water using liquid water conditioner if you can't get rain or distilled. Spritz often! They like showers!
My daughter and I were driving down our street and sitting on top of someone's garage can was a plant. I have plants so we stopped and brought it home. I've been having problems with it. One day it looks great and the next there are yellow and brown leaves. I've been moving it around the yard trying to figure out the perfect sun/shade. But I didn't know what kind of plant it was. Yesterday it flowered one flower. And today I saw that flower on a plant on the weather channel and it said the name. And yes this plant seems to be a little high maintenance. But thanks to you I know how to take better care of it. Hopefully I will be rewarded with more flowers. Thanks
I have a peace lily that I have had since 2012... this plant means the absolute world to me. It was given to me at my father's funeral. This week it has drooped so much and I'm having so much trouble getting it to come back. I repotted it but it still seens like it's going down hill. Nothing changed and there aren't any pests 😢 do you have any suggestions? 🥺🥺😭
Thank you for sharing Anna!! It took a few years to learn to care for my Peace Lilly lol!! Since getting mine it's bloomed twice but with one bloom each!! Hoping this year it blooms like crazy, but I'm just happy it's thriving!!❤️🥰
Same here! I've had mine for 2 years and it's produced Two flowers total, one last year and one is just coming up now! I want it to bloom more flowers like my grandmothers but I've tried everything. I prune the dead leaves, and I am constantly getting New Leaves, so it's VERY HEALTHY! I get new leaves daily, but not the flowers. I have a Plant light that use for it during Fall,Winter seasons and now that it's warming up I was going to put it back outside on my deck for the rest of spring/summer season.
Thanks, I like your way of tutoring, straight to the points and well prepared exemplaries so I could see and compare what problems i would be having with my plant. I wish your channel will grow strong and far.
I find that my plant like this one has been thriving in the shade. It doesn't like too much sun. It starting drooping after being in the sun for a few short minutes. It had a bud that died. It lioks like 2 new ones are finally coming in.😊
Just got a Peace Lilly from my Mother’s funeral. Has 7 flowers and flourishing beautifully. What fertilizers would you use? Great Tips! I will start following you! I’m not a plant person but, really want to make this plant survive. Thanks, and I LOVE your fingernail polish color! It’s Beautiful! ♥️🤠
Hi Mark, thanks for watching, subscribing, nice comment and mentioning the nail polish :)) I use liquid fertilizer for blooming plants. Don't really have a preference for any brand, even though have some recommendations on my store here: www.amazon.com/shop/annasviolets (affiliate products).
I have yellow leaves & brown tips. When they starts to droop, I water them. Can't be over or under, I stick my hand in them every day to check them... idk what her deal is! Lol One of my plants is definitely better then the other! But they r so temperamental 😅
@@carolemaharaj8837or you could try getting a grow light? One with full spectrum. Then you dont have to worry so much. I use both natural light and a grow light as i am limited on window space. And the grow light gives me that little bit of extra space and light. I have monstera, dragon trees, ctanathe, money tree, aloes, lots of different succulents all in proximity of the grow light and they are all doing well. Just a suggestion anyhow id hate for you to have to give it away. All the best 😌
My 4 year old peace Lilly lives very near a window so gets efficient light, it’s looking ok but has never flowered again after the flower on it died a while after I bought it
Thank you for a great video! One question though, my south Florida apartment doesn’t allow for much light anywhere. I finally got it to grow back and bloom a flower this spring but the flower is quite green in color and not a vibrant white. Is that from a lack of light?
My peace-lily got brown tips from the hard tap water we have here. You can see that I stopped using it because all the leaves that grew after the switch are perfectly fine.
Put the hard water in an open bowl and leave the water for 2 days, most of the chemicals will be removed naturally, and if you have any old water filter that you no longer use for your personal consumption, keep it and pour the water from the bowl into it, use it as second stage filtered water process for your plants. Also ask friends and family to give you old water filter that they want to discard, or get a very cheap second hand one from a charity shop.
Thank you for this informative video! I have a large peace lily that droops indicating it needs some water but I have some leaves around the bottom that turn yellow. So am I underwatering or overwatering? 3:48
if it's still alive- i would say have a look at the soil. if it's really dry, you're probably not overwatering. If you don't have good drainage, though, you could still be overwatering the bottom. And if you're checking the soil, maybe see if there's any root rot
Hi Anna, thank you for the great video! The stems of my peace lily are turning black (around half way up). I cannot find any reason for this on the Internet. Do you perhaps know what the reason could be for this? Many thanks in advance!
I certainly made the mistake in repotting. I split my big plant into two cuz it has filled the pot. Sad to say they didn't do well in the new pots which I now realized are too big. Now i dug them out of the soil and rehabilitating them in water. So far so good, they are growing new leaves & seems to be recovering. Hated them in soil I could never make the watering right. Maybe I'll plant them in soil when roots are well established!!
I've definitely noticed peace Lily likes to more water but NOT if the pot is too big, also I always mix extra perlite with my potting soil and I avoid anything with lots of bark or organic matter. great video. love my peace lilly! I've had mine for almost 12 years now!
I have a peace lily I got a couple of Christmas' ago, but due to health issues, the poor little thing dried out a couple of times. It looks a lot like the one you have on the right of this video, should I cut the leaves off that are brown or leave them on the plant. I don't want to stress it out more than I already have! Thank you in advance for your advice.
My sister does this with white small stone at the bottom, liquid nutrition for roots grwoth and some thing to keep the water clear, after a while her peace lily is strong foliage but no flower.
@@thuyhuynht.t.8646 what is the Whitestone? Is it something from outside just a random Whitestone? Or from a store? And I'm sorry if this is a ridiculous question but I wonder because I'm trying to make this survive this peace lily that was from my father-in-law's funeral
Safe to say this plant is a high-maintenance plant. I have one that was growing so well and suddenly overnight, it wilted. I'm now going to try to revive them. Sad!!!
@@AnnasViolets thank you. I’ve been tending to mine for 7 years. Received for my dads funeral and it’s sentimental to me, I would hate to lose it. This week it actually has a new bloom, so I’m excited that it’s still healthy. I just added new soil, it must have liked that. I subscribed to you and will keep up. Oh! What’s the best way to make the leaves shiny?
I'm glad to read that it's flowering now. I use just wet cloth to clean the leaves from time to time, and when it's warm I also wash it in the shower in a way so that the soil doesn't get washed away. :)
Hi, nice video, i can see the flower buds on my peace lily, but they are green in colour still growing state. Why is that so and can i do something to change it? Please tell me.
How often must I water the peace lily? I watered it last week once. I went to water it again for the new week, and I noticed brown dead leaves, flowers wilting, and yellow leaves.
I have one. However the first or second week it had I say bite marks, because it was outside. sometimes after the leaves changed brown in large areas. I change the pot it was in and brought it inside... It's still brown tho
So how often and how much do you water? I usually soak water mine with good drainage from the pot. I set them outside and drench them with water until it runs out of the bottom. I then let them drain and put them back inside. I use a moisture monitor and wait until it shows dry and the plan just starts to droop and then repeat the process. Generally my plants are OK but I think I must be overwatering as I do get quite a few brown leaves and yellow tips. I tend to fear underwatering more so than overwatering so I may overreact. So how often and how much do you water? Also, how often do you fertilize and what type of fertilizer do you use? My plants tend to have pale looking leaves and I'm striving for that that deep rich looking green. Would iron help them green up better?
Gardening videos often use phrases like “too much” or “not often enough” when talking about watering, which is super frustrating to hear because this is so relative and not very helpful. If I knew what how much water is not enough or too much, I would not probably be looking for advice! What would help? Something like, if your plant is so many inches tall or fills a pot so many inches wide/deep, water about so many ounces per x day(s). Then I can compare that measurable advice to what I am doing to see what to change. My peace Lily wilts when I allow 1-2 days without watering. So I water it until the water comes out of the bottom and then it perks up. BUT I’m still seeing yellow leaves. So am I to water more or less? Should I give it less water but water more often? When I water less it seems to wilt and looks as though it is dying.
Hi there. I really feel your frustration. The thing is that it's impossible to tell how much exactly to water based on plant size, or plant type. It depends on so many things, which I go deep into detail here: ruclips.net/video/A4jEETEqYxg/видео.html Hope this video will help you understand better what the watering depends on and they decide for your plants. It all comes down to experiences, observing and feeling your own plants because your conditions are different from every one else's. In short, watering (how often and how much) depends on the plant type, plant size, the root system, pot type, pot size, temperature, air humidity, soil type, etc... That's why no one can tell you exactly X ounces per X day.
I have a question, I got a peace lily for mothers day and it was one big ball of root so I repoted it. I read to water after repoting so I watered a small amount. 3 days later and it still feels very moist and its starting to go limp. I've sit it outside, but I'm worried, should I repot it into a dry soil and get all the wetness off of it? Some of the bottom leaves are turning yellow..
Hi Sonn. Yes, if it's already several days and it's not recovering, I recommend that you take it out of the soil and check the roots. If the soil stays wet for so long, maybe the quality of the soil is not good. It shall be very light. You can add perlite, pebbles or vermiculate to the soil. Also, don't use a very big pot. And of course, the plant shall be in a warm place. This way the soil will get dry quicker.
They you for this information! What can I do if I over watered? My leaves continue to die daily. Also I think I smell something in the plant. Not a pleasant scent. I’ve this one for a year and a half. I hope I can save it.
If I accidentally over water a plant, I fold up a couple layers of kitchen roll & place them inside the outer pot and underneath the plastic pot that the plant is in ~ it soaks up the excess water and if it gets too wet, change the kitchen roll 😊
@@suzannedebell9379 thanks for your reply. Unfortunately my plant died. We removed it across. It smelled horrible. Seriously so sad!!! Peace lilies are gorgeous. Waiting to get a new one. May wait until I move.
@@madelynnreyes3793 I’m reeli sorry to learn that your Peace Lily died, so sad, but now you have some knowledge for the future 🤗💚 Lots of good luck with your move and your plants 🪴xx
I have a peace lily with only 2 leaves left which are half browned already.. will i be able to save it. Its in a bigger pot.. i probably over fertilized as well...
Hi Anna, Can you please help me, i repot my plant in big pot, but its getting yellow and i had to cut so many leaves, just few lefts, Please help me to save my plant, What measures should i take? First i will use fertilizers, the spot to keep is good, not too dark, enough bright Please suggest me other possible ways
My peace lily has two problems … 1 its new leaves are smaller than old ones .2 its leaves are wrinkling ,they are not as straight as they used to b . I hv chked for root rot n pest . None is there . Want yo know optimum humidity needed in room. My room has 60 % humidity . Do i need a humidifier?
Hi, when I bought my peace liliy home it's bloom. But after that it have stop blooming for a long time ? Can you give me some advice. Thank you 😊 from Singapore 🇸🇬
Hi, my peace lily bloomed flowers when I bought it. It is 3rd year , and there are no flowers! Leaves r green & healthy. Plant is placed in Indirect sunlight. Any tips, please? Thanks
My sis gifted me 2 months ago, though the sapling is not drooping but leaves are turning yellow rapidly and i noticed the stems are turning yellow from the root as well, I am so worried, don't know what to do
I have a peace lily sapling. I bought it online 1month ago. It's leaves are turning yellow, I thought that I'm watering them too much. I live in a place where the temperature is more than 44*C so if I don't water it regularly it dries up. It isn't growing bigger. I worry that I'm gonna kill it.
Same problem, my sis gifted me 2 months ago, though the sapling is not drooping but leaves are turning yellow rapidly and i noticed the stems are turning yellow from the root as well, I am so worried, don't know what to do
My plan is a peace lily and I watered them like I supposed to every two weeks but my plants leaves are just wilted over and they won’t stand back up and I don’t know why I didn’t overwater them. They’re just fine with the water it might be where I have them in my house. I don’t know what to do.
Have you let your tap water, uncovered, for 48 to 72 hours before use? Lot of bright indirect light is was helped my variegated plant recover. Have you checked your roots, could be root rot. Jmo
Trying the humidifier.. using a Vicks vaporizer. The tips are brown and flowers are browning. leaves are perky, however. So this is my last resort before returning it to Home Depot.
@AnnasViolets mine have both. This is my 1st time ever caring for a peace lily. When I got it 3 1/2 months ago, it was massive and full with big leaves. Now it's thin and has lots of little leaves. I keep it in the warm bathroom because my apartment gets to be about 65*f and very dry. Do bring it out of the bathroom even on cloudy days?? Do wrap a plastic bag around the plant to keep it humid and warm?? Please help.
I have one i got from my sisters funeralin January. Looks like i must have ovee watered. Should i wate until i repot to remove beown leaves? Or just do it now?
Very helpful, thank you 🙏 Although not looking too back apart from many leaf tips being brown with a little yellow my concern is that it hasn’t flowered for a long long time like two years. Any advice ? It’s not in direct sun although it’s in a light position if that helps you 😁
I think my peace Lilly is overgrown. It doesn’t even flower or make buds. The leaves are bushy and very full. I’m not sure if I should prune it and how to prune.

They must be amazing! 💚💜 Would you mind sharing some care tips?
Pleaseeeee share what you do to and how you take care of them. What kind of window they are facing and how often you water them?
Do they require filter water or tap??? Cause I have been killing mines for decades now🤔
Wow! I'm looking forward to that with mine.
How do you care for them?
I just picked one up that was closer to dead than alive. I watered it in the garden area and then shopped.
I kept getting oddball looks for carrying this dead plant around. 😅
Thank you for your knowledge. Fingers crossed, I can revive this.
Just rescuing it from the abuse at the store and watering it made A huge difference.
It makes me sad to see Carts of plants going to the trash compactor at stores.
Why they won’t hire someone who loves plants and their care is such A huge loss of income and regular repeat clientele
I always try to save them. They live too
Completely agree. I see the same in my local big box stores. Breaks my heart 😢
I so agree. So frustrating.
So, a 7 months update please... did the Peace Lilly Survive? :) Bless.
I thought I was crazy for rescuing struggling plants. It is nice to know there are others like me. ❤

@@AnnasViolets thank you. I’ve been tending to mine for 7 years. Received for my dads funeral and it’s sentimental to me, I would hate to lose it. This week it actually has a new bloom, so I’m excited that it’s still healthy. I just added new soil, it must have liked that. I subscribed to you and will keep up.
Oh! What’s the best way to make the leaves shiny?
@@nellosmar4431 I wonder to the best way
I'm glad to read that it's flowering now. I use just wet cloth to clean the leaves from time to time, and when it's warm I also wash it in the shower in a way so that the soil doesn't get washed away. :)
💚
Nice to see them grown 👍🪱
Thank you :)
Thank you ❤ theyre my favourite plant!
Thank you Anna this will definitely help me identify what the problem is with my Peace Lilies 👍🏾
I am glad you find it useful. It's relatively easy plant to grow, but I think some tips could be useful :)
Hi, nice video, i can see the flower buds on my peace lily, but they are green in colour still growing state. Why is that so and can i do something to change it? Please tell me.
How often does peace lilys get flowers and for how long?
Is it ok to shine the leaves with a cooking oil? Many thanks, for this video, much appreciated 🙏
No oil
Hello, if I don’t have a humidifier should I use a spray bottle and lightly spray the leaves occasionally? Thank you
How often must I water the peace lily? I watered it last week once. I went to water it again for the new week, and I noticed brown dead leaves, flowers wilting, and yellow leaves.
Very good information thank you.
Glad it was helpful!🪴💜
Thank you for great information. Can it be grown in water alone?
Yes, absolutely
@@AnnasViolets will they produce new pups if grown in water? I think not what do you say?
You made me smile Thanks !!!!! 😊
I'm so glad! Thank you, too! 🫶
I have one. However the first or second week it had I say bite marks, because it was outside. sometimes after the leaves changed brown in large areas. I change the pot it was in and brought it inside... It's still brown tho
Can they be grown in a fish aquarium if you keep the leaves out of the water?
So how often and how much do you water? I usually soak water mine with good drainage from the pot. I set them outside and drench them with water until it runs out of the bottom. I then let them drain and put them back inside. I use a moisture monitor and wait until it shows dry and the plan just starts to droop and then repeat the process. Generally my plants are OK but I think I must be overwatering as I do get quite a few brown leaves and yellow tips. I tend to fear underwatering more so than overwatering so I may overreact. So how often and how much do you water? Also, how often do you fertilize and what type of fertilizer do you use? My plants tend to have pale looking leaves and I'm striving for that that deep rich looking green. Would iron help them green up better?
Gardening videos often use phrases like “too much” or “not often enough” when talking about watering, which is super frustrating to hear because this is so relative and not very helpful. If I knew what how much water is not enough or too much, I would not probably be looking for advice! What would help? Something like, if your plant is so many inches tall or fills a pot so many inches wide/deep, water about so many ounces per x day(s). Then I can compare that measurable advice to what I am doing to see what to change.
My peace Lily wilts when I allow 1-2 days without watering. So I water it until the water comes out of the bottom and then it perks up. BUT I’m still seeing yellow leaves. So am I to water more or less? Should I give it less water but water more often? When I water less it seems to wilt and looks as though it is dying.
Hi there. I really feel your frustration. The thing is that it's impossible to tell how much exactly to water based on plant size, or plant type. It depends on so many things, which I go deep into detail here: ruclips.net/video/A4jEETEqYxg/видео.html Hope this video will help you understand better what the watering depends on and they decide for your plants. It all comes down to experiences, observing and feeling your own plants because your conditions are different from every one else's.
In short, watering (how often and how much) depends on the plant type, plant size, the root system, pot type, pot size, temperature, air humidity, soil type, etc... That's why no one can tell you exactly X ounces per X day.
@@AnnasViolets *deep sigh* ok… thank you for explaining. I’ll check out the other video. :)
I almost kiled mine, but sice I start feeding it Kelp, it is huge and happy. Keping it in house for winter.
Is kelp the same as fish fertilizer?
Some say that too much bright light is also bad.
Yes, I would agree. Too much direct sunlight can also burn the leaves.
I just separated a huge peace little into 9 pots but I'm worried because some of them are drooping.
When reporting a peace lilly, what size pot should I use??
Never more than 2 inches more . Better to leave in a smaller than to go too big
I was hopping for you to talk about the white flowers turning green , what could be the reason
Lack of natural light - but not direct sunlight 😊
I have a question, I got a peace lily for mothers day and it was one big ball of root so I repoted it. I read to water after repoting so I watered a small amount. 3 days later and it still feels very moist and its starting to go limp. I've sit it outside, but I'm worried, should I repot it into a dry soil and get all the wetness off of it? Some of the bottom leaves are turning yellow..
Hi Sonn. Yes, if it's already several days and it's not recovering, I recommend that you take it out of the soil and check the roots. If the soil stays wet for so long, maybe the quality of the soil is not good. It shall be very light. You can add perlite, pebbles or vermiculate to the soil. Also, don't use a very big pot. And of course, the plant shall be in a warm place. This way the soil will get dry quicker.
Thank you so much!! This is exactly what I'm going to do. Thanks again!!
My plant was next to the stove while i was cleaning. Someone turned on the stove to cook. Now several leaves are burned and are now dying
Yes, of course. But the new leaves will grow healthy
Good, lots of info.
I've killed every peace lily I've ever owned. My last one got root rot after putting in water
Should I cut off the sick leaves of my Peace Lily? The big leaves are dry and brown in tips
Do you clip the leaves if they are black from sun damage from being outside or leave them?
Here’s a tip you don’t need to buy a humidifier you could just turn on your shower and put it on the counter
Oh, that will be a waste of so much water
They you for this information! What can I do if I over watered? My leaves continue to die daily. Also I think I smell something in the plant. Not a pleasant scent. I’ve this one for a year and a half. I hope I can save it.
If I accidentally over water a plant, I fold up a couple layers of kitchen roll & place them inside the outer pot and underneath the plastic pot that the plant is in ~ it soaks up the excess water and if it gets too wet, change the kitchen roll 😊
@@suzannedebell9379 thanks for your reply. Unfortunately my plant died. We removed it across. It smelled horrible. Seriously so sad!!! Peace lilies are gorgeous. Waiting to get a new one. May wait until I move.
@@madelynnreyes3793 I’m reeli sorry to learn that your Peace Lily died, so sad, but now you have some knowledge for the future 🤗💚 Lots of good luck with your move and your plants 🪴xx
I have a peace lily with only 2 leaves left which are half browned already.. will i be able to save it. Its in a bigger pot.. i probably over fertilized as well...
Yes, useful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Anna,
Can you please help me, i repot my plant in big pot, but its getting yellow and i had to cut so many leaves, just few lefts,
Please help me to save my plant,
What measures should i take?
First i will use fertilizers, the spot to keep is good, not too dark, enough bright
Please suggest me other possible ways
My peace lily has two problems … 1 its new leaves are smaller than old ones .2 its leaves are wrinkling ,they are not as straight as they used to b . I hv chked for root rot n pest . None is there . Want yo know optimum humidity needed in room. My room has 60 % humidity . Do i need a humidifier?
I fixed mine by placing it in the bathroom, it likes the small radiator and humidity from the shower
I water my plant every 2 days because it is very hot currently where I live. Before that I watered it just once or twice a week. Is that right?
So very nice video sharing beautiful plant healthy 🎉
Thanks a lot, Mukta. :)
Hi, when I bought my peace liliy home it's bloom. But after that it have stop blooming for a long time ? Can you give me some advice. Thank you 😊 from Singapore 🇸🇬
Hi, my peace lily bloomed flowers when I bought it. It is 3rd year , and there are no flowers! Leaves r green & healthy. Plant is placed in Indirect sunlight. Any tips, please? Thanks
It baking soda water helps with the brown tips
My sis gifted me 2 months ago, though the sapling is not drooping but leaves are turning yellow rapidly and i noticed the stems are turning yellow from the root as well, I am so worried, don't know what to do
My Pease lily I can understand it don't blooming and I love this plant very much and growing very good 4:28
Question here!
Should I cut the brown leaves/flowers or should I leave them as it is and wait for the whole plant to recover?
You can cut all unhealthy, yellowing, brown, black leaves and stems. It's much better this way.
I have a peace lily sapling. I bought it online 1month ago. It's leaves are turning yellow, I thought that I'm watering them too much. I live in a place where the temperature is more than 44*C so if I don't water it regularly it dries up. It isn't growing bigger. I worry that I'm gonna kill it.
Same problem, my sis gifted me 2 months ago, though the sapling is not drooping but leaves are turning yellow rapidly and i noticed the stems are turning yellow from the root as well, I am so worried, don't know what to do
Brilliant vlog, how do I increase the flowers production
I read potassium
My plan is a peace lily and I watered them like I supposed to every two weeks but my plants leaves are just wilted over and they won’t stand back up and I don’t know why I didn’t overwater them. They’re just fine with the water it might be where I have them in my house. I don’t know what to do.
Have you let your tap water, uncovered, for 48 to 72 hours before use? Lot of bright indirect light is was helped my variegated plant recover. Have you checked your roots, could be root rot. Jmo
I somehow did not get it - do we put the plant under direct sunlight or not? Thanks
Should I water my Peace Lily before it starts drooping?
I got a few Peace of Lilies, but no one have give me any flowers, I got them for more than a year. I’ll appreciate your help . Regards 🤗🦘 3.15 pm.
Hi Gloria, maybe try to put it in a brighter area and you can also repot it in fresh soil and/or fertilize. This will help :)
I just trimmed dead and yellow leaves my question is when they bloom
1st mistake...you brought it home😂😂😂😂😂😂❤.
😆🪴
😂😂😂
😂
Trying the humidifier.. using a Vicks vaporizer. The tips are brown and flowers are browning. leaves are perky, however. So this is my last resort before returning it to Home Depot.
Hi Mona, are the tips brown and dry or brown and there is a yellow line?
@AnnasViolets mine have both. This is my 1st time ever caring for a peace lily. When I got it 3 1/2 months ago, it was massive and full with big leaves. Now it's thin and has lots of little leaves. I keep it in the warm bathroom because my apartment gets to be about 65*f and very dry. Do bring it out of the bathroom even on cloudy days?? Do wrap a plastic bag around the plant to keep it humid and warm?? Please help.
I have one i got from my sisters funeralin January. Looks like i must have ovee watered. Should i wate until i repot to remove beown leaves? Or just do it now?
Its so hard to keep humidifiers clean
How do you get seeds from the flower of a peace lily
I hate these plants too sensitive and they keep giving me one at work whenever a death second one I've received and same thing yellow and black leaves
Very helpful, thank you 🙏
Although not looking too back apart from many leaf tips being brown with a little yellow my concern is that it hasn’t flowered for a long long time like two years.
Any advice ?
It’s not in direct sun although it’s in a light position if that helps you 😁
have you tried Gibberellic acid plant growth hormone regulator .
@@keithbucknall3124
Thank you Keith, no I haven’t. Will look out for that, cheers 👍
Be careful no to over dose though .@@nickwebb9290
How do you rid pests or repel them from your plant?
Neem oil mixed with water.
When is it time to repot?
Can I plant my peacelilly in a round glasspot
I'm afraid it won't have air ventilation for the roots and it may get root rot easily. Although, it will look nice with some design stones :)
I think my peace Lilly is overgrown. It doesn’t even flower or make buds. The leaves are bushy and very full. I’m not sure if I should prune it and how to prune.
I should add that my leaves are not tall. They all grow to the same height, which is about 6 inches
My peace lily flowers turned brown please tell me what is the problem ??
What do I do if the stem of the lily goes yellow ?
Do you trim off the yellow leaves?
Can the white flowers come back? How do I help it?
When does the peace lilly gives more flowers
My lily is huge It's taking over the room
