Peace Lilly Water Leaf Burn/A Year Later

Hello Plant Lovers, sometimes we play plant doctor to our houseplants, A year later and the issue is still happening,I hope this time my diagnosis is correct.

Hi Primose. Years ago I had a peace lily that did the same thing. What I did was prune all the bad leaves off as soon as possible. I moved the plant to a more lighted area of my house so the plant's soil could totally dry out. I waited for the good leaves to completely droop before I watered it. Then new leaves started to come and I kept pruning the bad one until the plant got healthy. For water I would place some tap water in an uncovered jug or watering can and let it sit out for a 2 or 3 days and the chlorine will evaporate and the fluoride will go to the bottom of the water. I only used the top part of the water to water the plant and poured the bottom out because it had all the fluoride in it. Hope this helps. Have a nice day. Blessings!

They say the peace lily is the easiest plant to take care of. I highly disagree, out of all of my plants the peace lily is the hardest. I am struggling so bad with mine. Thanks for this video. I just noticed mine has a leaf that is black. I’m starting to think it could be my water. I may switch to purified water but like I said this is the hardest plant for me to take care of.

It needs a partial sunny location but not direct sun. The one I have did the same thing when it was in complete shade. Snatch those dead leaves out and use a pair of scissors to snip the twigs down to the soil. You can also place the plant into a bowl of spring water while it recooperates. This plant will send up new shoots from the soil to fill back out. You can also use a small amount of fertilizer to help introduce new growth..

Once a week a cup of water for a plant like this is enough. I have them for many years and they are the easiest plants there are. When a plant looks like this you have to take him out off the pot, split him en take out the dead leaves and polls, arange him with the good polls in the pot again and a spathiphyllum needs every other year new soil. When you give tap water, you put him outside in the rain when it is raining the plant loves it. But over waterig can give root rot and this isnt the tap water, you gave him to much water. For this plant s once a week a cup of water enough and best is to let the plant tell you I need water. A healthy plant with enough water has the leaves in the sky and when it needs water it will let the leaves hang down and don't give him directly by a little hanging water and you give him water when the big leaves start to hang down. It isnt a problem when you give him sometime a little more water, but don't do that very week, only when you know you're away for 7 full days and otherwise the house must be cooler, but in the summer it needs a little more water.

do you use tap water? try bottled or distilled water. also see what pH it likes. and test the water & soil.

Hi love. I am almost sure that this black thing in the leaves is because overwatering it. I am watering my Calathea and and my Peace Lilly with tap water and the plants are doing well. I think you must stop watering it so much.

I had two of them in a self watering pot and their demise always start with the leaf tips blackening trait, progressing to stunted growth and worst. I narrowed down the cause to salts in the soil accumulated from tap water over time. Peace lily has poor tolerance to salt in the soil. The self watering pot probably makes it worst because the water never truly drains out. Using LECA pellets in place of soil may be a better and cleaner solution as it allows for the water to be drained easily and completely at time intervals.

I lost my Peace Lily a few months ago the exact same way. I'll be curious to see how you save yours. I've been hesitant to get another one. Good luck!

[carmenz]

Tfs...I want to give up on mine, but it was a gift. I have repotted, changed water to distilled, moved it around my house. I’ve had it for 2 1/2 yrs. It constantly gets brown tips, crispy leaves, and has never bloomed flowers the strange part is it continues to bloom tiny leaves.🤷🏻‍♀️ Plus isn’t this supposed to be an easy to care for plant.😩 Keep us posted.

[pahderella]

I think you should change the soil!! Since it contained all the bad things you didn’t want for the plant. I had the flower burn too but not much of the leaf and it happened because of the tap water too but I don’t fertilize mine as often so I haven’t changed the soil I just watered through and no more tap water for me and my peace lily looks good

Prune all bad and dry leaves. Make them all gone. You can use tap water, you must fill it with a bottle and leave it for 24 hours open to evaporate all chlorine from it and then you can water. My waterlilly drink only when it’s thirsty - I mean when it’s leaves bends down to bottom 😊 after 2 h they come back straight and happy.
Good luck Primrose👍🌱✨!

[lindateran]

Hi there i think you would have to prune out the dead leaves and repotted with miracle grow soil and water it with filtered water. Im sure that would help

[FernandaNascimentoOrchids]

Hi Primrose, i have mine at home on the stairs. I have killed some plants for overwatering when I lived in the flat and sunce then I am very careful about that with plants in the house. All this to say that I only water my Peace lily when the leaves droop and then I dip the hole plant into waterand let her soak as much as she wants and wait again until she dries bac completely. Also you could let the tap water sit for a couple of days to let the chlorine evaporate.
I have those big buckets outside ti collect the rain but here it rains very litle so when they are empty I fill them with tap water and leave it there open for a couple of days.
I hope your plant recuperates.

[selfsacrafice]

Hey fellow plant mom 🤗
It probably is either the tap water like you said because Peace Lillies are known to be sensitive to extra minerals and fertilizers. Or it could be it's too wet. They do love water but they are prone to the roots rotting if too wet. Good luck hopefully it improves in a few months 💕

[ybarrett]

Hello I'm sorry about your plants I use sink water on my plants after it has been sitting for 7 to 10 days and I don't have that problem anymore also I had to take my plant and separated because it was too much plant together but you have to be very careful separated at Planet you have to be gentle but it can be done the water is not able to get through like it's doesn't rain enough

[evelyndaisy]

It’s a beautiful plant.
I hope it will improve . It’s possible that it may be the tap water .

[cherylk]

I would take the plant out of the pot and check the roots. There doesn't appear to be any room for growth in the pot. With all the dead portion I would take a sharp knife and divide the plant cutting out the bad and the repot. You could then have two smaller plants or keep it as one. Clean out the old soil from the roots and flush or soak them if needed to get them clean. Repot with fresh soil and water with rain water or bottled water/distilled water.

They are over watered. When people give you advice they are giving you the advice for their surroundings atmosphere, room temperature, and blah blah blah. So yours will be different. Your plants are over watered and they need more sunlight and a warm room. Your plant should be standing upright and when they need watering they will begin to droop. If you overwater them they will continue to droop and the leaves will begin to die. When you have a shower put them on your window ledge out of the way of any hot water the moisture will do them good. The reason they call them houseplants is because they are tropical plants ( Humidity is what they love ) lots of light makes them grow very fast! in actual fact they grow like weeds and you have to keep on dividing them. I grow loads of them in a grow room and they grow so rapidly that it has become a chore. They like misty spray of water on the leaves when there is lots of light. on the leaves when there is lots of light.

I have the same problem of leaf burn n eager for a solution .i had to watch this video very patiently without much help

[GotPlants]

I’ve always been lucky with my Peace Lilies (except for the one big variety I own). I really don’t do anything special with them. I do use water (tap) that’s been put out for a couple of days before watering it. I might get some minor brown tips but nothing as serious as yours. I believe the rain water will help. And is the pot too big? Maybe it’s stays wet too long?

My big peace lily is the only one that’s giving me issues right now. Like yours the leaves are thinning out. I’m also seeing more browning on the leaves. I treat all my Peace lilies the same so I don’t know why this one is giving me issues. I’m thinking of repotting mine and giving it fresh new soil and maybe put it in a smaller pot. Because right now it’s also in that ikea self watering pot that I HATE!!! Let’s see if that makes a difference. Let’s both try to figure out how to make our peace lily happier. 😁
