How to Save a Dying Peace Lily

When your Peace Lily is struggling, it will show clear signs.

Common indicators include: – Drooping or wilting leaves. – Yellowing or browning edges. – Dry, crispy leaf tips.

If you notice these symptoms, your Peace Lily needs immediate care

1. Improper watering

One of the main reasons for peace lily drooping is improper watering.

2. Overwatering

Overwatering can lead to soggy roots, yellowing leaves, and ultimately plant death.

3. Underwatering

On the other hand, underwatering can cause the plant to wilt, and its leaves to turn crispy.

4. Exposure to Direct Sunlight 

Exposure to too much direct sunlight can cause the leaves to droop and develop brown, crispy edges.

Steps to Revive Your  Peace Lily

1.  Disinfect Your Pruner

– Always use clean, sterilized pruning tools to avoid spreading infections.

2.  Remove Unhealthy Leaves 

– Gently prune all yellow and black leaves. Retain only green, healthy foliage.

3. Check the Roots 

– Remove the plant from its pot and inspect the roots.

– Look for signs of root rot, such as mushy, discolored, or foul-smelling roots.

4.  Address Root Rot 

– If root rot is present, remove all soil from the roots.

5. Repot the Plant 

– Gently place the plant in the pot and cover the roots with soil.

6. Adjust Watering Habits 

– Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out before watering again.

7.  Provide Optimal Conditions 

– Place the plant in bright, indirect sunlight.

– Maintain a temperature range of 65–80°F (18–27°C).

By following these steps, your Peace Lily should recover and thrive.
