Common Peace Lily problems
Dramatic drooping
Symptoms: The whole plant wilts and droops noticeably.
Likely cause: Usually underwatering — peace lilies droop clearly when thirsty.
What to do: Water thoroughly; it typically perks back up within hours. Persistent drooping despite moist soil can instead mean root rot.
Brown leaf tips
Symptoms: Crispy brown tips or edges.
Likely cause: Tap water chemicals, low humidity, or fertilizer salt buildup.
What to do: Use filtered or distilled water, raise humidity, and flush the soil occasionally to clear salts.
No flowers
Symptoms: Healthy green growth but no white blooms.
Likely cause: Not enough light.
What to do: Move to a brighter spot with indirect light — peace lilies flower poorly in low light.
