Ask the Expert: Small leaves on my peace lilly received a peace lily as a gift leaves where large. but now that the new leaves are growing in they are very small. It has been repotted recently. Mike

If your peace lily (Spathipyllum) leaves are small, fully-formed and healthy, you have nothing to worry about. This may be a result of the transplanting shock and larger leaves will occur later. However if the leaves are small and deformed, you have a problem and we will need to determine the cause which could be wither fungal or over-exposure to fluoride. If the leaves are deformed, send me a photos of the leaves and the plant. I will try to diagnose it and help you with a remedy.
