Hi Sheri! Here’s some info for you- This Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) is showing signs of distress, likely due to incorrect watering or light levels. Drooping leaves often indicate the plant needs water, while browning tips or yellowing leaves can signal overwatering or too much direct sunlight. To help the plant recover, ensure it receives bright, indirect light and water only when the topsoil feels dry. Also, here’s some info on pots/soil/repotting ( not that you are going to!) This is just fyi 😊- The best pot for a Peace Lily is a plastic or glazed ceramic pot with multiple drainage holes that is 1 to 2 inches larger in diameter than its current root ball. Since your Peace Lily is currently showing signs of distress and you are planning to repot it, selecting the right container is critical for its recovery. Key Pot Material Requirements- Plastic or Glazed Ceramic: These materials hold moisture evenly. Peace Lilies prefer consistently damp (but not soggy) soil. Avoid unglazed terracotta, as it pulls moisture out of the soil too quickly for this specific plant. Mandatory Drainage Holes: Peace Lilies are highly prone to root rot. Never use a pot without drainage holes. If you love a decorative pot that lacks holes, use it as a "cachepot" by slipping a functional plastic grower liner inside it. Sizing Rules- go up 1–2 Inches Max: Upgrading from your current pot size to one that is only slightly larger prevents excess soil from holding onto too much water, which suffocates the roots. Depth Match: Choose a pot that is roughly as deep as it is wide to support the Peace Lily’s deep root system. I hope this helps.
