Peacy lilly dying
Comments (2)Hi there. Well, there are few different things to consider. 1. Your PL had water roots. It make take a while to adjust to soil. Some plants make the transition easier, but not PLs. 2. Anytime you disturb a PL's roots, it's likely to pout for a while. It may stay in a bad mood for a couple of months. 3. Don't allow your PL to dry out, but resist the urge to overwater. The leaves will droop quite a bit for a while until it adjusts, so that might make you think it wants more and more water. It doesn't. 4. Hopefully you put the PL in a pot that is just big enough for the roots to fit in. You don't want a whole lot of room on the sides of the roots. PLs like to be rootbound, and being overpotted may lead to overwatering. If it's overpotted, it will probably take too long to dry, leading to root rot. 5. Lastly, be patient. Give it a few months to recover. It will probably bounce back during the spring. Just be sure not to allow it any hot light during the summer. So as we go from spring to summer, you'll want to move it away from the window. It will want bright light, but not hot light. Don't worry! It should turn out ok. Keep us informed....See MoreDying Peace Lilly ; Please Help!
Comments (5)Sorry to hear that your mama passed away. I can understand why the plants mean a lot to you. The good news is that I do think these plants can be saved. They don't look like they are imminently going to die. A couple of questions that might help to better figure out how to improve them: Do you let the water drain out of the pots when you water them? How much light do they get? Are they near a window? Which way does the window face? This post was edited by summersunshine on Mon, Mar 31, 14 at 1:07...See MorePeace Lilly Help!
Comments (5)I concur, this is perfectly normal for these plants. The spathes aren't actual flowers, they're just modified leaves. The actual flowers are tiny, and are found on the spadix growing in the center. After they're done flowering, the spathes can turn green and carry out photosynthesis just like a normal leaf. On a side note, even though it's in a self-watering container, I would still remove the inner pot and flush it out with more than enough fresh water. Doing this helps to flush out any accumulated salts or other minerals that can build up in the soil over time from repeated waterings....See MoreNext steps for my Peace Lilly?
Comments (10)Agree with socks, gorgeous plant but mine is the thirstiest thing know to man too! You can usually tell if it was underwatered by the next day because once the stems flush with water they go straight back to your original photo, so hopefully you have an update for us soon and he’s bounced back :) Otherwise, if he’s still in the same state as the last photo, try and keep him indoors for now and hopefully someone else can advise with what to do from here x...See MoreMike352 To
