dying peace lily?
Comments (9)I agree with the sunburn diagnosis. PL's burn very easily. The light coming through mini blinds and sheers isn't enough, though. Somewhere that's not outside in the sunshine but is more brightly lit than the location it is pictured in would be good. Also agree with changing to soil to improve aeration but would personally do it with mulch instead of perlite. I don't like the looks of "white-top" soil and perlite just takes up space in the pot without offering any benefit to the plant. That soil is hard to see clearly but looks like it has a lot of peat which is hideous stuff that never seems to dry out until suddenly it's so dry it won't get wet again. Also "floats to the surface" like perlite. Read some of the other posts on here about PL's and other plants which contain root pruning advice from AL. You may decide more root pruning than you already did would be good. PL's make "pups" to increase themselves. Each individual part makes 1 leaf at a time and over time a PL can develop a whole family. Yours looks like 2 clumps where the biggest one has one growing eye and the other clump has 2 eyes. These clumps are probably still connected to each other by a root which could be severed so you could but each clump in a separtate pot, or back together in the same pot. It's been my experience that when PL's get severed from each other they usually send up new eyes and/or whole new pups....See Morepeace lily care
Comments (3)The brown ends of the leaves on a peace lily mean that you have too much minerals in the soil....either from over fertilizing or from repeatedly watering with hard water. Repotting should help with the hard water mineral build up issue, but then you added more minerals... since it seems to be over mineralized ..if that's a word..LOL!....water running through is good, washes the soil a bit. Also peace lily is a shade plant....suitable for very low light spots. Is it getting too much sun?...See Morepeace lily looking sickly... please help!
Comments (4)Try postings this in the Houseplants or Aroids forum. Peace lilies are not a "real" lily despite their common name and have nothing in common with true lilies :-))...See Morepeace lily plant looking sickly...please help!
Comments (17)I live just north of the "pits of hell," haha. Summers in Arkansas can be just as brutal, and humid. The temps here can climb up into the hundreds. That being said, I keep my Spathiphyllum outdoors in an area that gets dappled sun/partly shaded, and I keep it well watered. Right now it's blooming like crazy. Just the other day, I noticed that it has sent out a few more spathes. The hot and humid weather here is not much different than that of its native habitat. As long as they're kept well watered, they don't mind the shaded heat. It probably reminds them of home, so to speak. :)...See Moretapla (mid-Michigan, USDA z5b-6a)
