PLEASE HELP w/ my peace lily. i got it after i was in a crash and i don't want it to die.?

I was recently in a car accident and as a get well present a friend got me a pink peace lily. well, its been six weeks and i'm now in a rehab hospital but i'm worried about my lily. it started off w/ the tips being brown then spread down the whole tip to the petal which also turned brown and its heading down the stem! what do i do? i read that it could be my watering but the soil is damp and i don't think it needs more water, does it? also, i don't see any roots or anything so that means i shouldn't repot it right? i'm just so worried. please help.


any help would be greatly appreciated.


thanks!

PLEASE HELP w/ my peace lily. i got it after i was in a crash and i don't want it to die.?
It is totally normal that the flower is browning.


Go ahead %26amp; cut it off, they don't last but a week or 2.


Peace Lilys like moist soil but all plant roots need air as well as water, so be sure it dries moderatly between watering.


Since it's still new you won't need to repot it for about a year.


Don't start to fertilize it until spring.


To check if it needs it, pull the plant out of the pot (carefully) %26amp; if you see more roots than soil you do need to pot it up to a larger pot.


Don't worry about the plant, I'm sure that's not what the giver would want. Concentrate on your recovery!


Good Luck
Reply:I have a peace lilly from my grandparents funeral, that was 3 years ago now. Just water it, if the leaves turn brown I pull them off I think they are touchy plants, just water it and give it sunlight! I found that helps to, not to much but some sunlight!
Reply:I have a peace lily and they are pretty easy to take care of. I keep mine in my office. Make sure it's getting enough light and that it's not too cold. Pull off or cut off the brown parts. Water it every few days with room temperature water. The plant will let you know when it needs water because it will begin to droop, but you want to water it bfore it begins to droop if you can.
Reply:bure it in a hole
Reply:I cut mine way down. Watered when dry and fertilized occasionally. Give it indirect sunlight and it should be ok.
Reply:First off sorry about your accident,hope you are recovering well and will be home soon. As for the Lily, call your local Homedepot or even a Flower shop they can be very helpful, good luck in gettign better and with the lily.





And to the other moron above, people can have laptops in rehab..not like its jail or rehab for a druggie. Gesh.
Reply:I think your problem is too much watering. Peace lillies like to dry out between watering. I water mine about every 8-10 days and I've had it for 4 years. Also it likes indirect light, Flowers about every 3 months, and it's common for the tips to brown a little
Reply:i always kept my peace lilies in a large glass wase with a big bottom and a skinny top.


i just fill it with water and place the plant right into the water. i clean off the roots first and they live well directly in that water!


you can find a big glass vase, like i was talking about...from wal-mart.





take care.
Reply:it could be that you are over watering it, clip back some of the brown parts and set it in a window. good luck

Reply:I, like other answerer's, wish you a quick and complete recovery!





Peace Lily (Spathephyllum) is one of the easiest plants to grow. There are just two things really to remember. First, never let it dry out. They like it almost wet. These are the same plants that were used in the beta-bowl, ecology gift thingy in the 90's. A plant with its roots in the water, fish, and decorative stones. The point, it's very hard to over water. That being said, make sure it's out of any decorative foil, or liner around the pot. You don't want it sitting in stagnant water.


Empty the saucer every few days, though it's alright for the plant to sit in water for a day or two.





The second thing is don't put it in direct or bright light. The leaves will burn. Indirect light is all it needs/ wants.





Cut the dead margins of the leafs off, following the natural shape of the leaf. All of the leaves on it will eventually die, but they should be replaced continuously, so if one has to go completely, don't feel bad, it's nature. Give it some fertilizer too, through the end of September I'd say. Don't fertilize from October til April, then start up again.





I hope that this helps
