Hi Emily, I found this article. I hope it helps. Good luck⦠Common Diseases of Peace Lilies
Peace lilies are generally resilient plants but can be affected by several diseases. Understanding these issues can help in maintaining their health.
Root Rot
Cause: Overwatering or poor drainage.
Symptoms: Wilting, yellowing leaves, and a foul smell from the soil.
Prevention: Ensure the pot has drainage holes and allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Leaf Spot Diseases
Cause: Often due to high humidity or poor air circulation.
Symptoms: Brown or black spots on leaves, which may lead to leaf drop.
Prevention: Improve air circulation around the plant and avoid overhead watering.
Fungal Infections
Symptoms: Similar to leaf spot diseases, with additional signs like mold on the soil surface.
Prevention: Regularly clean the leaves and maintain proper watering practices.
General Care Tips
Care Aspect Recommendations
Watering Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Humidity Maintain moderate humidity; avoid excessive moisture.
Air Circulation Ensure good airflow around the plant.
Leaf Cleaning Wipe leaves regularly to remove dust and pests.
By following these care tips and being aware of potential diseases, you can keep your peace lilies healthy and thriving.

I just found out that they don't need much fertilizer.
If given too much, they will only put their energy into growing leaves and not "flowers".
That's been my experience with my Peace Lily.

My experience I got one 27 years ago at my fatherβs funeral and I still have it. Do not put it in direct light water it once every Sunday.
Mine stays in the middle of my sunroom thatβs facing south has windows in the front and on both sides with a roof over it so sun never touches it blooms every year on his birthday. Repotted it three years ago when my oldest brother passed away and made one for him π. Pretty sure they have never been fertilized π€¦π»ββοΈπ€£οΏΌ οΏΌοΏΌ

Itβs very humid most of the time where I live so wind could be drying out your plant or itβs not enough humidity they really do well in indirect light or in the shade with light nearby just not being hit by the sun. I donβt want to say give it zero sun but until you figure out what is safe for it, do not put it in the sun or it will get scorched to possibly just die. They are very dramatic and will teach you how to water plants. Because youβve been overwatering the whole time Along with 85% of people who kill their plants with love.
I hope at least some of this information helps someone οΏΌοΏΌ
