Peace Lily issue
A friend, @reesecup35, is having issues with her peace lily. Can anyone help figure out what’s going on and what she needs to do? It sits near a window with a curtain #PeaceLily #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict

May be fertilizer and/or root rot :( my peace lily was yellowing and browning and i couldn't tell what was going on for the life of me, the pot didn't smell or anything, and i was misting and providing adequate water, turns out it was root rot when I went to repot it, it was in too big of a pot. How big is your friends pot in comparison to their plant? I would have them check the roots for root rot, if that is the case, lay the roots out to dry while carefully dusting as much dirt off as possible. Dilute hydrogen peroxide 1tsp per 4fl oz of water and lightly spray the roots. Be sure to pick the rotting stuff out and it should be good to repot. They like the humidity too, so spraying it would be a great idea.
Could also be over fertilization, as while I was repotting mine, I noticed a fertilizer stick in there that I had forgotten about :( So the poor thing was definitely a little stressed.

I also clicked on your friends profile and noticed that the lily had no drainage. This could be root rot, i'd recommend repotting to a pot with drainage or watering only when the soil is dry to the touch, (don't let it dry out completely though as peace lilies tend to like water) it may be sitting in water though at the bottom of the pot.
@Sassylimey @rynroxx plant has since been repotted in one with drainage since she joined. Has a drain hole. @reesecup35 not sure why she’s unable to post but she’s tried and it won’t let her.
