Please help, I have a very droopy plant and don’t know what to do. This plant means a lot to me due to it was to plant at my Grandfathers funreal this year and my heart is hurting very badly and don’t know what to do to try to save it.

I beleive I may have overwatered it due to it was off schedule of watering from my other house plants and forgot. Listing to a co-worker she said let it dry completly out and put it in new dirt than water it, which I did. Now it is still very droopy. The leaves are still very dark green it hasn’t turn colors yet, do this mean that it may make it or what.

Please advise this is tearing me apart it’s like I am hurting my Grandfather. Thanking you in advance for your advise.

We have had a variety of spaths for years; most were purchased many years ago from FL landscape nurseries, but we use them as house plants!
I have never heard them called peace lilies! Are these really a lily? Why the name peace lily?

My peace plant is over 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide! I have it in the biggest pot that I could find anywhere. I am wondering how to split it. Can I just cut it in half and repot it? I love it but I am running out of room. My other question is should I split it while it has flowers or wait for it to go dormant? It has over 30 flowers right now! Thanks for the help.

The leaves on my peace lily seem to start turning brown shortly after they open. The brown is not just on the tips but can cover the entire leaf. It may begin in the center of a leaf or start along the edge and continues to worsen until the entire leaf is black. What can / should I do?

I found a plant with about two leaves on it that a “moving out” neighbour had left at the curb. I didn’t know what the plant was at the time, but thought I would look it up at some time. The two leaves look healthy enough….the container was broken…very little soil.

I put what was left of the plant and roots in a fairly small container. To my surprise, within a few months I had a lovely bloom and knew what plant I had. These blooms came on after another and I consistently had lovely blooms. My mother, who loved Peace Lily plants and had one was very envious since she’d had a large one for many years.

I moved 5 years ago, potted my peace Lily into a larger pot. and one bloom, so I TRULY believe the idea that they like to pot bound, and have thought that was the problem all along.

Thanks to you people on this site, I am going to try take some little babies off this plant and put them in fairly small pots. I’m really looking forward to some beautiful blooms!!

Thanks for all the information!!
