Peace Lily's Bad Haircut

September 8th, 2009 | By: Jamie Jamison Adams

Ask the Expert: Will leaves grow back on Peace Lily?
I have a peace lily and I cut the flower and leaf down to the soil by accident.  I guess I should have only cut the flower down to the leaf.  Are the leaves going to grow back or am I going to have a bare spot where I cut the leaves?  Please help.  Thanks.  Marlene

Plant Expert Reply:

Luckily peace lily leaves are like hair.  They will eventually grow back and fill in the bad trim.

Did you cut back several of leaves? If so you might want to fertilize the peace lily with a light solution of a water soluble fertilizer.  This will give the peace lily the nutrients it needs to produc the leaves.  Also, during this growth stage be careful not to over water your plant.
