In the winter, my mother's windows tend to let in a bit of a draft. If your window is not insulted and you can feel a draft, then the peace lily definitely was exposed to to much cold. Move the peace lily a little farther from the window and make sure it is out of any draft flow. Do trim the black leaves back to the base of the plant. If you haven't fertilized the plant lately, give it a very diluted amount of liquid soluble fertilizer. Also, check for root rot - make sure the plant is properly draining. You may need to re-pot the peace lily; if it isn't draining properly. Cindy,

I had it sitting in front of a window and the temperatures outside are <20 degrees F. Do you think that it was caused by cool temperatures? Do you recommend cutting off the leaves down at the base of the stem? Thanks, Cindy I have a similar problem, but my leaves turned black/brown and started wilting on one side of the plant.

I'm probably going to have to re-pot the plant and get a houseplant moisture meter, along with some fertilizer. Hopefully these remedies can bring the plant back to its natural beauty.
