#PeaceLily
Last watered 2 weeks ago
peace lilies need soil that can retain moisture well she might be root bound or in not the right soil! i’d switch her to a medium that doesn’t dry quickly maybe a soil mixed with sphagnum or coconut husks
Not sure if the photo you have is depicting the current problem, because it looks good in that picture. But if not, we have a peace lily at work and if it gets overwatered, it wilts and looks like it hasn’t been watered. Everyone keeps watering it without checking and it gets worse. lol. Eventually it had a sign that said β€œdo not water!” 🀣 it made a full recovery. Maybe check into more about what they like. Maybe they don’t like constant wet feet and like to dry out a little bit between watering. (I’m no expert, so definitely look it up)

Hi! She'll also do much better in a pot with good drainage
Angel looks quite perky. I’ve had mine for over 10 years but I long to see her shine again. I’ve been reading the comments and there seems to be a consensus that humidity is essential, indirect sunlight is is best, and and they let you know when they’re thirsty but don’t like sitting in water. I’m slowly incorporating these suggestions and she’s looking much better. I’ll have to update her picture soon! BTW, I’ve had a lot of plants for a long time but most of them have come back from the dead more than once. My sister tries her best to help me. Maybe things will start to turn around…for both of us!😊
@BigEmerald #PeaceLily is a drama queen 😠 Yours look way better than mine. I use a humidifier to increase the humidity and my Stella seems to like that.
some plants are just drama queens. If you can't keep up with the watering, try a self-watering pot
From what I can see in the photo, she's outgrown the pot. Mine got the same level of fussy and I thought I was just screwing something up but no, she just wanted more wiggle room for to Chug more effectively πŸ˜‚ The other comments cover the rest of what I would have said, so here's hoping she perks up!
