Hi Shelley, The Peace Lily is commonly known for its dramatic drooping when thirsty. The yellow leaves indicate a moisture imbalance, likely from overwatering that leads to root suffocation, or inconsistent watering schedules. To help the plant, prune the yellow and dead leaves, check for root rot, and ensure the soil is allowed to dry slightly between waterings. If the plant is crowded, repotting into a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining soil may be necessary. How often are you watering, and what kind of soil do you have it in? Also, Iβm thinking that a 4 inch pot might be too small.
@SillyPlantGirl Thanks for your advice. I hadnβt repotted from original soil because I wanted him to adjust to new environment first. Yesterday I trimmed the yellow leaves and put JonLuc in a bowl of water and just let him sit and bottom water. Heβs looking much healthier already. I will repot in about a week once heβs looking stronger.
@π£π π€π thanks! Thatβs what I thought too. I decided to ground water after talking to someone else about watering techniques. Itβs helped a lot. Next step is to repot.
