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

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.
