Is watering my peace Lily super often a cause for concern...

Heyy!! so I have a peace Lily thatโ€™s thriving and very pretty if I do say so myself, however she needs watering like every 3-4 DAYS. Sheโ€™ll dramatically droop when thirsty (as peace lilies do) but Iโ€™m unsure if mine is getting thirsty too quicklyโ€ฆ besides how thirsty my peace Lily is she seems to be doing great so maybe I shouldnโ€™t be too too concerned about it lol! #PeaceLily #Watering
6โ€ pot with drainage
Last watered 12 hours ago

Sounds like you're doing what your Peace Lily needs. I've learned that most care instructions are general at best. Use them as a baseline and then adjust as you go. As long as your P.L. Is happy and thriving, keep doing what you're doing with the caveat that if anything changes, you'll need to readjust. โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿชด
@QuickKalopanax thank you! Iโ€™ll keep that in mind!
Is she the roots coming out of the bottom of the pot? I put mines in water after finding a root trap around her throat. Now she is happy as heck. Have you done a repot since having her?
@JungleZen68 Iโ€™ve checked and her roots arenโ€™t coming out of the bottom. I havenโ€™t done a repot yet since besides being thirsty sheโ€™s very healthy and growing normally. The frequent watering could be that sheโ€™s just getting a lot of light (sheโ€™s right next to a window) so maybe sheโ€™s photosynthesizing at a higher rate ๐Ÿคท
Have you removed her from the pot to check the roots? They donโ€™t always come out the bottom but will wrap around in the bottom of the pot. Roots couldโ€™ve taken over the pot which means less soil so thatโ€™s why you need to water often. I hope this helps ๐Ÿ™‚
