Is white stuff in my peace lily normal?

hello, my app says she needed a water today but her soil is still moist & leaves look tilted so I’m a little lost πŸ₯² & some of the Lily’s that bloomed have this like white stuff falling out from inside them. Is that normal? The past couple days been cloudy/rainy so no sun. #PeaceLily #help #thankyou #PlantsMakePeopleHappy
If the soil is still moist and you are worried, I would wait with watering a bit longer. Peace lily's do love water, but can still get root rot with to much water.
I always wait with watering till my soil is dry, and mine is still thriving.

As for the white stuff falling of the blooms, that's 100% normal. That are the pollens falling off. If you want you can just clean it off.
I agree that sometimes the app has to learn your plant and conditions
I use Greg, but also check my plants first with a moisture meter before I water. That way, if it’s reading moist/wet, I will tell Greg I watered it when I really didn’t. πŸ˜‚ I’m sure it helps the app adjust. I’m an over-waterer, so Greg water reminders are really just there to keep me in check lol!
@Kerstypoo based on what I’ve see so far (still fairly new though!) I usually just snooze the water reminders and it adjusts based on that since I’m telling it that the plant didn’t need water then :) definitely have had to do this with a few plants! And early watering I always go in and find it in hopes of training Greg 😁
