peace lily with black leaves?
Comments (4)If the leaves turned black that fast, it is definitely cold damage. It may or may not come back, but water sparingly if it doesn't have many leaves, since it won't be using much water until the leaves grow back. Leaves will get brownish black over time, especially on the tips and edges, from overwatering.

Trust me, I've killed my share of them this way. I don't recommend growing them in water for extended periods of time - after a while, they languish and look pretty sad.

The white detritus on the inferior leaf surface is shed exoskeletons of an insect likely to be the source of the honeydew. Al...See MoreTiny black dots (fungus?) killing my peace lilies... Help!
Comments (8)be careful with dish soap.. many are actually detergents .. which isnt good for plant tissue ... that said.. one tsp in a quart of water should avoid that issue ... often.. the black dots are poop ... and not the bug.. hence.. it doesnt move .... if you take one and wet and smear it .. yeah.. i know.. yuck.. its often actually green ... but then you are looking for a bug big enough to produce such ... oh hell.. just throw it out.. lol .... btw.. with all you have already done.. how do you know you havent already solved the problem??? and the leaf damage is just now showing??? ken ps: in line with the story above.. did you know licorice dots arent really black.. they are green ... lol ...
