Ask The Expert: My neighbor just gave my a peace lily from his wifes funeral. It has beautiful white flowers on it, but some of them the edges of the flower is turning brown.

I would sometimes get upset with the blooms when they would start to fade and drop all of the white “dust” stuff all over. Now I wish that were the case. I watered faithfully once a week sometimes a little in between, it was in my office so it had bright but indirect sunlight. I re-potted (more…)

Ask the Expert: Peace Lily brown/black leaves

We received a beautiful large peace lily as a gift when moving into our new offices. It has been going downhill and I’ve been trying to save it. Leaves turning brown/black. I trim them off. I repotted the plant. The roots seemed to be OK. I did purchase a clay pot with drain holes so used about 3″ of rock in the bottom of the pot. Will this work?
