Ask the Expert: Is my lily dying?

I repotted my lily a week ago and it has been wilting ever since. The soil I used was garden soil miracle grow. The soil is moist I don’t think it’s over watered. Could it just be in shock? If so how long should it take to come out of it. Some of the leaves are starting to turn yellow.

My peace lily has the blooms turning dark brown.even the new baby blooms.i bottom feed, and let the plant dry in between waterings. What can I do? does the water for feeding have to be free of chlorine?

we have a peace lily at work that has been watered too much and is really looking very droopy. What can we do to save it? I removed it from its pot and repotted it with new soil. Will it make it?

Thanks Elaine

Hi,
I have a lovely Peace Lily, which looks healthy, I water it once a week, it is located behind the window with some sunshines (afternoons), the weather here is humid and we have lots of rain. Some times it has some yellow leaves, but it is growing really good, my only concern it that it had some flowers when I got it, but it is not blooming any more flowers? what should I do?
Thanks,
Newsha

Ask the Expert: Peace Lily Help

Hello,
I received a peace lily from my grandmother recently. I repotted it into a slightly larger pot with potting soil, and have had it in medium light with weekly watering. This week, it looked pretty wilty, and also had yellowing of the flowers. I trimmed them off, and moved it to a lighter location. When I put my finger in the soil, it doesn’t seem overly dry or overly wet. Included is a photo of the poor plant. If anyone has advice, I would love to hear it!

Thanks!

I purchased a Peace Lilly a little over a year ago. It turned yellow and I thought it was dead. I trimmed off all the leaves, but left the roots in the pot. I planted a new plant in the pot and just figured the Peace Lilly was dead. A few days ago I noticed that the Peace Lilly is starting new growth. I removed the plant I had planted in the pot and am going to see what happens. Could there be a reason the Peace Lilly died off and now is starting to grow (more…)

Ask the Expert: Hello! I received a peace lily approximately three wks ago. It sits in afternoon light, and I have watered it once a month. Almost overnight, the leaves drooped. Help sites have told me that wilting can be caused by too much OR too little water. I don’t know what to do! Another peace lily I got on the same day sits only two feet away, and is doing great. Please advise. Thank you kindly. Sharon

Sharon,

Wilting usually does occur because of a watering issue, however other environmental factors sometimes cause problems. Let’s address the most common environmental issue – exposure to extreme temperature changes. Is this peace lily exposed to breezes from an outside door or directly under an air vent? Temperature changes can cause issues like
