Need Help with Peach Lily!!!1?

received a peace lily from my boyfriends funeral a month ago, so it is very important to me. it has been doing great, it is good sized. got home today and it is completely drooped over. thought it might need watered but the soil is still pretty moist. I water once or twice a week. but is has never done this. leaves ae all still green, one flower died but it has been dying for a week now. all others look good, just sad. What should I do?

Okay, there is a lot of accurate information here but it sounds contradictory and it%26#039;s not. Here is the real deal. A peace lily does best with moist soil, not wet, but moist. However, the pot must have drainage. If you are watering every couple of days and there is no drainage hole then it will probably rot and collapse. On the other hand, if it is not getting enough water that will also cause the plant to collapse in a wilt. Both problems have similar symptoms. A Peace Lily can live fairly well with just roots in water in a vase but when wet in soil, bacteria and fungus can develop. As far as lighting goes, Peace Lily can tolerate pretty low light conditions to medium light, but it can%26#039;t tolerate bright, direct sun. The good news is that if it just needed to be watered it will pop back up once you do that. The bad news is if it has root rot you have probably lost it. If you do lose it, please don%26#039;t beat yourself up over it. Buy a new one and let it take the place of the other to help you remember your boyfriend.
Reply:It%26#039;s a bulb. It%26#039;ll come back.
Reply:If the leaves are turning yellow and then black it is too much water. Peace lilies require allot of water, but they cannot tolerate standing in water with their %26quot;feet%26quot; (roots) wet. If you are over watering, the chances of recovery aren%26#039;t good. Once you have a rot started in the plant it is very difficult to recover..If it is drooping and watering brings it back up overnight, no more worries.....I am a floral designer in a small shop. Hope it helps!

Reply:Peace lily (spathyphyllum) needs to be moist all the time or it will wilt. The flowers don%26#039;t last forever. To keep it producing new flushes of flowers, it should be feed about once a month with any houseplant fertilizer. Cut off dead bloom spikes.





Also, those things are some times quickly tossed together by a florist, several plants to a pot, and some of them not well-rooted.





And don%26#039;t attach too much sentimental value to a plant. If I had done that when I started with them, I%26#039;d have committed suicide by now.:-)





Good luck!
Reply:I would try re-potting the plant into a larger container and also try giving it some plant food. Sorry to hear about your loss.
Reply:%26quot;They need bright light from a nearby window but no sun actually shining on them. They should be watered only when the top 3 inches of soil is really dry and the plant feels light weight. They will bloom better if they are rootbound so do not be too quick to repot them and never move them to a pot more than 2 inches larger diameter than the old one.%26quot;








If you haven%26#039;t fertilized it, you should check that out too. I find I have to fertilize my potted plants every month or so.
