This is a great video because you showed the plants. What a novel idea!! So many videographers keep the camera on themselves while talking about drooping leaves, yellow leaves but YOU showed the plants. That is awesome and so needed. I will now look at the roots of my Drama Queen to see what is going on. Thanks so much for this!
Think mine was unhealthy as i over watered it, potted it on and will wait now, has lots of new growth and leaves, no roots! how much water do they need at watering time, less is more? really good video thanks.
When my dear mom was dying in the hospital last year, I came across a very neglected peace lily in her house. Mom felt bad for a long time, but she didn't want to admit it, so she didn't take care of the plants anymore. The peace lily looked like it had died completely, all the leaves had dried up. It was standing on a stand in a southern but cold room. I moved it to my heated apartment, bought a humidifier, cut off almost all the leaves, transplanted it into better soil and today it looks beautiful! The only thing is I don't know if it will ever bloom, it's been sunny here for a long time and it's in an ideal place, near the east window. It keeps putting out new leaves, no yellow, no brown, but no flowers either. I feed him regularly and live in hope. For my mom ❤️
This is so accurately and eloquently phrased!!! Agree wholeheartedly, appreciate the creator of this content so much!!! I bought a beautiful Peace Lily in honor of earning/achieving my peace after losing my fiancé to COVID during the first wave (April ‘20), I’ve endured and overcome so much and I randomly came across a beautiful, lush PL at Walmart the other day, she had a few wilted leaves and dying blooms….her dirt was scattered all over the place and she’d obviously been neglected she was all alone in a corner, partially hidden by some wooden pallets….. I suppose this may sound crazy according to anyone that isn’t a plant parent/enthusiast….but she reminded me SO MUCH of myself and how some of us just need a little extra love and care even though we are already beautiful and whole as we are…so she came home with me and I’m so grateful I found your video!!!! I love books, particularly informative…aesthetically pleasing ones. But like everyone else in this inflated, perpetually busy society….I don’t always have the time to sit and read books so this is a perfect medium!!! Green 🌱🥹💚
I’m so sorry to hear about your fiancé. That is heartbreaking. Plants are good for the soul in my opinion! I’m proud of your for overcoming so much. This life is full of challenges and man is it ever hard sometime. But tommorrow is a new day and we are all lucky to get another day on this beautiful earth and you can do this! I hope your peace Lily is thriving and I hope it reminds you of your beloved fiancé dear! Take care and happy growing 💚🌳💚
Thank you for the information My Peace Lily was given to me after my daughter passed and I’m trying to keep it alive in memory of her. Thanks for your help! ❤
I am sorry for your loss. I too received a Peace Lily after my sister passed unexpectedly. It was the most beautiful gesture to get this plant. It started to get sick because I over-watered it. I too am trying to keep it alive in my sister's memory, It's slowly recovering.... I wish health and wellness to you and your plant.
This is the most helpful video I have seen about problems with Peace Lilies. I bought a big, beautiful one about a month ago in Wal-Mart on clearance for $10. It looked healthy. It seemed to need watering twice a week, so I pulled the inner pot out & found some roots protruding. I re-potted it into a 12". It has been drooping for about a week & I have not watered it for 10 days, because my moisture meter indicates that it remains moist. I use only dehumidifier water or rainwater. The current plastic pot has a built-in drain pan, so I will have to pull the plant out roots & all to check their condition.
I have a peace lily that I received when my Dad passed away in 2005. I have been babying it all this time. It was in a small planter and every couple of years I put it in a planter 2" or so larger. It is now in a planter about 20" round and it stands about 3' tall. It's been in that planter now for about 5 years now and I have noticed that I am seeing a lot of yellow leaves here lately. I think I am going to separate it and put it in into a few smaller pots. Thank you for the tips on how to do that.
First time watching your channel and I'm impressed. This is the most comprehensive and concise guide to identify and diagnose problems in peace lily. Thank you for sharing!
Love love love all the comprehensive information! This is the most helpful Peace Lily video I've seen Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! ❤️🪴
I've only ever been good at caring for a few types of plants but I got this peace lily from a friend at my father's funeral recently and it's beautiful so I really want it to survive so I thank you for the tips.
I am so sorry for your loss Christina. That is so special that a friend gave you one! What a beautiful reminder for you. I hope you feel your father close.
I find my peace lilies do better in indirect low light. 🤷🏼♀️ I also found following the standard watering instructions of “keep watering until it comes out the bottom” resulted in root rot and other overwatering issues. I used a plant-care app to calculate an exact amount of water to provide for each different sized planter pot and my Peace Lilies appear to be improving.
I’m glad your plants are doing better. Every climate will have different watering needs. Depending on the age of the plant it may need less light too. Less sun will need less water. You def don’t want your plant sitting in water in excess water after it has been watered, that will def cause root rot. Happy to hear your peace lily is happy!
Very good information. I've had peace lilies for over 12 years now. They have never sent out new shoots, nor flowers. They just continue to send out new leaves. They are quite tall and doing well. I'm really enjoying them indoors.I live in the Caribbean.
Overwatering means watering too often. Watering until the water runs through the bottom is ok. I literally drowned an Ivy gifted to me from a coworker. She thought I had a green thumb. I had no idea how to care for the Ivy, so I poured water in that poor thing till it died!!
I always come back to this video when my peace lily starts being dramatic, it’s so thorough! seems my problem is (again) a mix of temperature and underwatering. as it’s gotten colder most of my plants have been acting up, and I think that’s due to them being near my sliding glass door. additionally, my peace lily soil felt bone dry when I checked today even though I just watered her a couple days ago. I’m hoping a bottom-water in the tub and a move to the center of the room will have her perking up!!
Great video! Far more understandable than most. My poor peace lilywas moved to a different part of the house and started to die. This video helped me to understand my peace lily so much more 🙏
THANK YOU FOR THIS FANTASTIC VIDEO REGARDING PEACE LILIES. I AM ON MY SECOND PLANT. IT MAKES ME SO NERVOUS.. I WAS AWAY A FEW DAYS, CAME BACK, IT HAD COMPLETELY COLLAPSED. I PANICED.. I WATERED IT THOROUGHLY RIGHT AWAY, AND WAITED...NOTHING! THE NEXT MORNING IT CAME BACK TO ME! I WAS SO HAPPY. I CLEANED UP SOME LEAVES, WIPED THEM OFF..AND NOW IT'S GOOD. LOOKING AT YOUR VIDEO, I AM WODERING IF I SHALL RE POT IT. IT'S IN THE ORIGINAL POT I BOUGHT IT IN BACK IN JUNE. AFTER I RE POT, OR THE NEXT UNPLEASANT EPISODE, I WILl NOT PURCHASE ANYMORE. THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL, BUT DELICATE. I DO BETTER WITH POTHOS, WHICH I HAVE TWENTY.. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING ME TO PLANT SCHOOL, BEING A NEW PLANT MOM, I AM LEARNING BY TRIAL & ERROR.😊
Pothos are the best!! I love that you have 20!! I would only repot now if it has outgrown its current pot, since it has had some recent shock from lack of water.
@@moodybloomsyou're welcome. I submitted a question as to whether or not I should keep my peace lilies in the pot they came in for a funeral. I have two large plants and want to do what's best for them. Thanks!
Thanks so much, my poor peace lily suffered many of those problems due to changing homes..I really appreciate your simple and thorough way to detect, diagnose and solve all those problems.
I ordered a peace lily online and USPS held it four days late in the middle of January in New England. When it arrived, it looked okay initially, but slowly some of the leaves started turning black. I determined that it was likely cold and shock, and put it in an east-facing window for gentle direct sunlight. The bad leaves continued blackening until they were completely dead, and I removed them. The rest of the plant has perked up and is doing well.
Thank you - very helpful. We have moved to an area with very hard water and have a built in water softener. I think both of the "hard" and "soft" water have not been very good for my peace lily. I may start trying my filtered water and distilled water. Well, anyway, I have a few new options to try after this video! Thanks again.
I just discover your channel and I am amazed with all the explanations and advises you have give in your video . You have answered a lot of questions I have to understand how to care about my Peace lily
Super helpful video! I purchased a Peace Lily (Sp. Sensation) a couple weeks ago and it was in decent condition but I noticed it had some caterpillar chew marks. I put it in quarantine for a few days after a treatment with Neem. I then cleaned the old potting soil from the roots, washed the leaves, and noticed it was 2 separate plants in the single pot-so it was good I was repotting it lol. I spritzed the roots with some diluted Hydrogen Peroxide and put them each in a smaller pot with my homemade soil mix and did not water them the first 2 days post-transplant. They are absolutely thriving now and look so good! I can’t wait to see how big these beauties get. ❤
I appreciate the info. I can pretty much grow anything on the outside but this plant is really hard to care for inside of my home. It just feels like no matter what you do it’s not working to help the plant to thrive. I’m sure I just don’t know what I’m doing but wow.
I use aquarium water from my tanks and indoor ponds. I use RODI for my aquariums. I also use grow lights for control/consistency. I have aquatic plants too and they all love the nitrates and phosphates from my aquarium water 👍🏾 thanks for the info
Such an amazing and informative video! I bought a Peace Lily 3 days ago and put it in a big pot. I also watered it. However, that soil was previously used for another plant that had died, so it was already moist. Today, I noticed that the Lilly's leaves and flowers were wilting. I immediately suspected overwatering, so I removed the plant from the pot, I took all the moist soil out and replaced it with fresh soil from the store. The plant seems to be doing better than it did earlier today. Hopefully it will be ok! ^^
Thank you. I'm new to the peace lily someone bought me one when my mom died. I felt so bad i neglected it. I will treat this one better. Its been 2 years and I'm ready
Thank you so very much! I rescued a peace lily from a previous neighbor. It was outdoors in WA state at end of Sept. Terrible idea. Also in a 3 ft pot with an outdoor flower plant. 😮 Hope she can survive! She's completely fallen over, wish her luck ❤
Thank you for the info I have a peace lily and it's almost a year old your information has been very helpful to me because through the process sometimes my peace lily with Drew now I know what to do thank you so much for your information 😊
I appreciate this video so much. I've had my peace lillies for over a year and have had issues off and on with them. This video answered all my issues. I'm so happy I found it. Thank you!
Very informative video! Thanks for sharing your expertise. My biggest problem is with the new baby leaves turning blackish and dying before they ever grow out from under the larger, older leaves. What might be causing them to seemingly rot? I water from below and the older leaves are fine. The plants do have mostly green flowers.
Black anything is from stress. Could be over/underwatering, drafts, cold, etc. The larger leaves may be stronger and can tolerate more than your less established leaves. How is your lighting? When peace lilies get too much light, the blooms turn green. This occurs because the plant performs more photosynthesis in stronger light and the green pigment in the flowers show through.
Just acquired my first peace lilly. My husband's memaw passed and we were gifted this beautiful plant. Thank you for these expert tips! My daughter named it "Bob" 💓
They are so temperamental and delicate, but I think I figured it out, through my own actions 😅. I saw so many variations of this plant under differing conditions. Resilient little things!
I saved my dad's very neglected peace lilly from a few dried up yellow leaves and it's now huge and bushy and producing multiple flowers for the first time! I'm getting nervous now because so many talented plant people have said they have problems with them! I knew next to nothing about plants and it's somehow thrived,so something has to go wrong, right???
Hello,nice to meet you I’m a new Subscriber from The Middle East I have a large plant collection My Peace Lillies are doing fairly well but extra information is always useful Thank you 🙏
Great information : ) Lovely plants and colors : ) Big Like : ) Excellent video and presentation Mary Ellen : ) Fantastic tips : ) Thank you so much for sharing this awesome presentation and video : )
So much helpful information!! A friend told me a egg shell and vinegar mixture to feed my plants but I’m scared I’ve used to much vinegar 😢 however they were propagations just potted so I’m just anxiously waiting everyday 😞
First time watching your channel very informative 👍 👌 my piece lily giving me problem after watching ur channel realised it doesn't like the cold, bringing them upstairs.
Thank you for this video. Really the best one I have seen yet. I have two pots with peace lily and both plants look nice, but the bottom leaves turn yellow. I water them with filtered tap water and whenever I notice a slight drop of the leaves I add a little bit of water, so it might be the case that I am watering too often. They did bloom at the beginning of February and the flowers are still nice and white after a month. Overall they are beautiful plants, but the yellow leaves are bugging me. If watering is not the case, I might try adding fertilizer because I don't add any at all.
Sure wish I could send a picture on here. My peace lily was on the grave of a very dear friend. I’m doing all I can but the majority of the leaves a brown from the tip up to half way the leaf.
I am so sorry to hear that such a special plant is having issues. What a lovely way to remember a dear friend. Brown leaves could be a number of issues. You may want to check out my complete Peace Lily post here: moodybloomsco.com/peace-lily-problems/
Hello! Thank you for your valuable content. I was wondering, (as I don't believe you mentioned it in the video, sorry if I missed it!) when necessary, where should a leaf be cut? At the very base of the stem? Or...? Thank you in advance for your reply.
Great question...I don't think it was covered. If you are cutting a leaf off I would cut as close as the base as possible. It won't ever grow back a new leaf on that stem, so may as well get rid of it. It will brown and die off anyway.
Great video,very informative thanks. Coming on to the end you showed peace lily in water vase. But you didn’t talk about that. So what about Living in water? would that be a problem for peace lily and having fish in the water to provide nutrients to the lily?
Hi Allan. Yes, peace lilies can grow in water alone. You can even buy them in vases without any soil. Ideally, the base of the plant should be suspended above the water line, either by a specially-made vase insert or a layer of small river rocks. If planting with fish choose a peace lily that isn't very large, but has a well-developed root structure. Since the roots will be dangling down into the fish bowl, they should take up no more than about 20 percent of the space to allow your fish ample swimming room. I am not sure if they provide nutrients tho. Here is my complete Peace Lily Problem Guide: moodybloomsco.com/peace-lily-problems/ for more tips!
The plant will droop a bit when thirsty, telling you when it needs a drink. If you pay attention to when it usually starts to sag, you can plan to water one day before it generally happens. Peace lilies need consistently moist soil, but they definitely don't like to sit in standing water. Whenever the top inch of soil is dry, water the plant until the overflow starts to come out of the bottom of the container. Wait until it stops draining, then set the pot back in its saucer.
Thank You so much for sharing this very beautiful and interesting video, dear Mary Ellen !😘... It was a great pleasure to watch it to the end !😍👍106 Wish You a Happy New Year 2022, my friend !🍾✨🥂 Warmest greetings, Arlette
My 5 peace lillys are outside in south alabama getting almost full sun. Ive potted them into the largest pot i could find. They flower almost continously also.
Yes, my mom has Peace Lilies in the ground in full sun in Northern Florida, and they are HUGE, and full of flowers! Mine on the other-hand are being cared for inside, and they are always throwing a hissy fit for one thing or another. 😩
Best video and most thorough information on the care of Peace Lilies. Truly excellent and very helpful. I love Peace Lilies and I’ve grown them for years. Many thanks for the time and efforts you put in to making this video! 👌🪴🥰
I didn’t know all that thanks for everything I know what to do now with mines but I live in Vacaville California n they don’t like being in doors so I keep them outside so I will prune them but my mom don’t want them change out of there pot especially the oldest one I don’t know if I can change her mind about that it does better in the winter here bc temp is lower than in the summer but we have had high temp was really high for a while but they do better outside n I don’t water them unless the leaves start dropping down n I only give them spring water from a bottle our faucet water is not really good too use for them n sometimes I will use destill water n I make sure they are not indirect sun either bc they don’t do well I knew that part none of my plants do thanks again Rose Stines
I live in Colorado, near the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. I have my peace lily in the basement in a low light location. It is doing fine. I will start misting it daily and wiping its leaves. It seems to be healthy. Thank you for the video!
If you suspect a fungal infection, remove the infected leaves, spray the rest of the plant with a commercial houseplant fungicide, let the plant dry out and then resume watering only when the soil is dry to the touch. If possible, move your dieffenbachia to a brighter spot. Fungicide spray can be found here: amzn.to/49JtZmY
My peace lily has been exposed to air conditionin - i didnt' really realise how bad it would be for her :( now she's all droopy, i don't think she's been overwatered, i moved her to another room, i hope she'll recover :(
Hi dear Mary Ellen, thank you for this high interesting upload! I watched with pleasure. A great sharing !! Warm greetings from the "GoA" in Austria....have a fine rest of the week....Saderé💜👍20💖🌹

What a beautiful memory of your dear mom! I hope you feel her close!
You need to feed it potassium. Soak banana skins in bottle of water for about 2 days. Lilies like potassium. Try it!
Try banana peel water 💧
@@kiemer13put water in fridge when you soak it?
This is like a professional book, yet, all in one video. This is totally recommended.

I find my peace lilies do better in indirect low light. 🤷🏼♀️
I also found following the standard watering instructions of “keep watering until it comes out the bottom” resulted in root rot and other overwatering issues. I used a plant-care app to calculate an exact amount of water to provide for each different sized planter pot and my Peace Lilies appear to be improving.
I’m glad your plants are doing better. Every climate will have different watering needs. Depending on the age of the plant it may need less light too. Less sun will need less water. You def don’t want your plant sitting in water in excess water after it has been watered, that will def cause root rot. Happy to hear your peace lily is happy!

Such an amazing and informative video! I bought a Peace Lily 3 days ago and put it in a big pot. I also watered it. However, that soil was previously used for another plant that had died, so it was already moist. Today, I noticed that the Lilly's leaves and flowers were wilting. I immediately suspected overwatering, so I removed the plant from the pot, I took all the moist soil out and replaced it with fresh soil from the store. The plant seems to be doing better than it did earlier today. Hopefully it will be ok! ^^
Oh good! Soil that is too wet is never good!
Thank you. I'm new to the peace lily someone bought me one when my mom died. I felt so bad i neglected it. I will treat this one better. Its been 2 years and I'm ready
Very good and detailed information. Thank you 🙂
Thanks!
Love this detailed voice over YT
Thanks Judy!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have gone through all these situations and learnt a lot now.
Glad it was helpful!
This is the best instructional video, thank you very much!
Awww thanks so much!
Excellent video covering each problem thoroughly. I learned a lot.
Thank you so very much! I rescued a peace lily from a previous neighbor. It was outdoors in WA state at end of Sept. Terrible idea. Also in a 3 ft pot with an outdoor flower plant. 😮
Hope she can survive! She's completely fallen over, wish her luck ❤
You can do it!! Thanks for watching!!
Appreciated the note about aeration.
Thanks! That was a very thorough description of peace lily you helped me so much enjoy your day
Yay! Thanks for your sweet comment.
I just purchased a peace Lillie that was exposed to cold drafts and lack of water I’m trying to rescue her …this is our first day🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
Update?? Me too!!
Best of luck to you!
How is it doing now?
Great video, very informative. I will rely on the advice fully, thanks very much.
Awesome! Thanks for your lovely comment! 🤗
Thank you for the info I have a peace lily and it's almost a year old your information has been very helpful to me because through the process sometimes my peace lily with Drew now I know what to do thank you so much for your information 😊
You are very welcome Mae!
I appreciate this video so much. I've had my peace lillies for over a year and have had issues off and on with them. This video answered all my issues. I'm so happy I found it. Thank you!
Awesome! I am so glad!
Very comprehensive and so very helpful! Thank you.
Soo comprehensive !! Thanks a lot.
You are welcome!
Great video... Extremely articulate which really helped
Glad to hear it! Thanks so much for your kind comment!
Wonderful information! Thank You so much!
Thanks for watching Shirley!
ang ganda naman ng halaman na yan,thanks friend
Thanks so much!
I was told that puttting ice in them is a good way ti water them. It actually works for me.😊
Awesome! Glad it works for you. Thanks for sharing your success!
Very informative video! Thanks for sharing your expertise. My biggest problem is with the new baby leaves turning blackish and dying before they ever grow out from under the larger, older leaves. What might be causing them to seemingly rot? I water from below and the older leaves are fine. The plants do have mostly green flowers.
Black anything is from stress. Could be over/underwatering, drafts, cold, etc. The larger leaves may be stronger and can tolerate more than your less established leaves. How is your lighting? When peace lilies get too much light, the blooms turn green. This occurs because the plant performs more photosynthesis in stronger light and the green pigment in the flowers show through.
Just acquired my first peace lilly. My husband's memaw passed and we were gifted this beautiful plant. Thank you for these expert tips! My daughter named it "Bob" 💓
Awww I love this! And Bob is a perfect name!
They are so temperamental and delicate, but I think I figured it out, through my own actions 😅. I saw so many variations of this plant under differing conditions. Resilient little things!
So true!
I saved my dad's very neglected peace lilly from a few dried up yellow leaves and it's now huge and bushy and producing multiple flowers for the first time! I'm getting nervous now because so many talented plant people have said they have problems with them! I knew next to nothing about plants and it's somehow thrived,so something has to go wrong, right???
I am sure you will do just fine Emily! Here is my complete Peace Lily Problem Guide: moodybloomsco.com/peace-lily-problems/ for more tips!
Thank you, this was very helpful my peace lily was sleeping for a long time until I moved it to a new location in my home
I am so glad it was helpful Colleen. Here is my compete post on Pease Lily Problems: moodybloomsco.com/peace-lily-problems/
Hello,nice to meet you
I’m a new Subscriber from The Middle East
I have a large plant collection
My Peace Lillies are doing fairly well but extra information is always useful
Thank you 🙏
Hi Elizabeth! Thanks so much for your support. Hope to see you back soon!
Thank you so much for the wonderful tips, Mary Ellen. Great information to share with other Lily growers.
Thanks so much for visiting!
I've had a peace lily for the years , and it has never bloomed, even though it is very healthy looking with lush green leaves.
It may just need more light. Peace lily can still grow nice and healthy in lower light situations, but needs increased light to flower.
Very informative; I learned a lot.
Thanks so much! That makes me so happy!
Great information : ) Lovely plants and colors : ) Big Like : )
Excellent video and presentation Mary Ellen : ) Fantastic tips : )
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome presentation and video : )
Thanks you so much dear! I really appreciate it. :)
So much helpful information!!
A friend told me a egg shell and vinegar mixture to feed my plants but I’m scared I’ve used to much vinegar 😢 however they were propagations just potted so I’m just anxiously waiting everyday 😞
I have never tried that. How did it go?
Most impressed. Thank you for your expertise! :)
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful Lily flower
Many many thanks
First time watching your channel very informative 👍 👌 my piece lily giving me problem after watching ur channel realised it doesn't like the cold, bringing them upstairs.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video great help and awesome tips really enjoyed thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much! It's was very useful to me. 💖
Thanks!
I really like this channel. You are very specific
Glad you think so!
Thank you for this video. Really the best one I have seen yet.
I have two pots with peace lily and both plants look nice, but the bottom leaves turn yellow.
I water them with filtered tap water and whenever I notice a slight drop of the leaves I add a little bit of water, so it might be the case that I am watering too often.
They did bloom at the beginning of February and the flowers are still nice and white after a month. Overall they are beautiful plants, but the yellow leaves are bugging me. If watering is not the case, I might try adding fertilizer because I don't add any at all.
I would suggest checking the soil before watering again. They will use less water in winter vs summer so keep that in mind. Happy Planting!
Thank you, what a thorough video, very helpful!!
You're very welcome!
Thank you. A very in depth video. Hopefully I've got it sussed now. 🙏😊
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, very nice. Amazing, great upload.
Nice video my friend! 👍24
This was so helpful, thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Sure wish I could send a picture on here. My peace lily was on the grave of a very dear friend. I’m doing all I can but the majority of the leaves a brown from the tip up to half way the leaf.
I am so sorry to hear that such a special plant is having issues. What a lovely way to remember a dear friend. Brown leaves could be a number of issues. You may want to check out my complete Peace Lily post here: moodybloomsco.com/peace-lily-problems/
Wow....tempting❤
Thanks a lot 😊
Great video, very helpful , thanks very much . I have liked and subscribed from Australia 🇦🇺
Awesome, thank you!
Brilliant video thankyou for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Good help for my peace lily
Hello! Thank you for your valuable content. I was wondering, (as I don't believe you mentioned it in the video, sorry if I missed it!) when necessary, where should a leaf be cut? At the very base of the stem? Or...? Thank you in advance for your reply.
Great question...I don't think it was covered. If you are cutting a leaf off I would cut as close as the base as possible. It won't ever grow back a new leaf on that stem, so may as well get rid of it. It will brown and die off anyway.
@@moodyblooms I saw a leaf being cut at 5:32. Is that what should be done with brown tips?
Great video,very informative thanks. Coming on to the end you showed peace lily in water vase. But you didn’t talk about that. So what about Living in water? would that be a problem for peace lily and having fish in the water to provide nutrients to the lily?
Hi Allan. Yes, peace lilies can grow in water alone. You can even buy them in vases without any soil. Ideally, the base of the plant should be suspended above the water line, either by a specially-made vase insert or a layer of small river rocks.
If planting with fish choose a peace lily that isn't very large, but has a well-developed root structure. Since the roots will be dangling down into the fish bowl, they should take up no more than about 20 percent of the space to allow your fish ample swimming room. I am not sure if they provide nutrients tho.

Thanks 🙏🏽 and I’m a new follower!
Yay! Thanks for stopping by and following!
@@moodyblooms you’re welcome ☺️
Doing research for a friend, this video is very informative. Just how often should peace lillies be watered ?
The plant will droop a bit when thirsty, telling you when it needs a drink. If you pay attention to when it usually starts to sag, you can plan to water one day before it generally happens. Peace lilies need consistently moist soil, but they definitely don't like to sit in standing water. Whenever the top inch of soil is dry, water the plant until the overflow starts to come out of the bottom of the container. Wait until it stops draining, then set the pot back in its saucer.
Great info....thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video. I have two and both have black and yellow leaves. Going to check the roots and repot.
Thanks for watching!

Warmest greetings,

Many thanks!!
Thank you very interesting… have you a vid on propagating a peace Lilly? Thank you
I'm working on it!
My 5 peace lillys are outside in south alabama getting almost full sun. Ive potted them into the largest pot i could find. They flower almost continously also.
Yes, my mom has Peace Lilies in the ground in full sun in Northern Florida, and they are HUGE, and full of flowers! Mine on the other-hand are being cared for inside, and they are always throwing a hissy fit for one thing or another. 😩
Amazing! I love to hear that. Thanks for sharing Mary.
That is so cool! They love that climate!
Best video and most thorough information on the care of Peace Lilies. Truly excellent and very helpful. I love Peace Lilies and I’ve grown them for years. Many thanks for the time and efforts you put in to making this video! 👌🪴🥰
Awwww...thanks you so much for your sweet comment. I really appreciate it.
This is really helpful. Thank you
You're very welcome Tina!
I didn’t know all that thanks for everything I know what to do now with mines but I live in Vacaville California n they don’t like being in doors so I keep them outside so I will prune them but my mom don’t want them change out of there pot especially the oldest one I don’t know if I can change her mind about that it does better in the winter here bc temp is lower than in the summer but we have had high temp was really high for a while but they do better outside n I don’t water them unless the leaves start dropping down n I only give them spring water from a bottle our faucet water is not really good too use for them n sometimes I will use destill water n I make sure they are not indirect sun either bc they don’t do well I knew that part none of my plants do thanks again Rose Stines
You are very welcome Rose! Hope they are doing well!
Excellent presentation
Thank you! Cheers!
I live in Colorado, near the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. I have my peace lily in the basement in a low light location. It is doing fine. I will start misting it daily and wiping its leaves. It seems to be healthy. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks
Thanks
Thank you so much, very helpful. What do you do if you suspect a fungal infection? Mine has been developing yellow spots on the leaves. Thanks!
If you suspect a fungal infection, remove the infected leaves, spray the rest of the plant with a commercial houseplant fungicide, let the plant dry out and then resume watering only when the soil is dry to the touch. If possible, move your dieffenbachia to a brighter spot. Fungicide spray can be found here: amzn.to/49JtZmY
Thanks for teaching us god bless you more Ameen
Thanks for watching!!
My peace lily has been exposed to air conditionin - i didnt' really realise how bad it would be for her :( now she's all droopy, i don't think she's been overwatered, i moved her to another room, i hope she'll recover :(
