I accidentally hit it and it dropped... can I somehow stick it back on its stem of put the bud on water or something?
How can I save a dropped lily bud?
No, sorry . But even if you put it in water, it might not open up. If it is a 'young' bud , it might not be mature enough to open. If it IS mature, maybe with a little warm water you can coaxe it to open, then leave it in the water.

How to cause a Peace Lily to bloom again?
I know they need more water than other plants, and really droop when you have forgotten them, which often causes them to stop blooming. Can you bring the blooms back after that? Fertilizer maybe?
How to cause a Peace Lily to bloom again?
Once the blooms are damaged they usually do not come back. But give the plant about 12 hr of light and 12 hr of darkness. Bright light but not direct sun. Water when the top inch of soil is dry and fertilize about once a month with a liquid fert like Shultz or Miracle Grow. If you do these things you should start to get new blooms.
Reply:use a fertilizer high in phosphate. osmocote brand has a great slow release fertilizer. you can find it at wal-mart or home depot.
but don't over fertilize!

I have a peace lily with browning tips, and no flowers.?
I have had this plant for over a year in the same pot, location, watering schedule. It has blossomed twice, but now it has been awhile since any new flowers. It continually grows new leaves from the center, but the outer leaves are browning and curling on the ends. This plant has sentimental value, and I really would like to fix it! Does it need a new pot...too much water??
I have a peace lily with browning tips, and no flowers.?
Remove the outer leaves. They are old and ready to be cut off. The plant needs a new pot. Make it just the next size up.
Taking the lily outside and just letting water run through it would make it happy too. Or put it in the shower, but then you have to clean the shower.
Reply:you can tell if your plant needs to be repotted by looking at the holes are roots growing out of it ,then yes if no roots are visible do not transplant usually brown leaves mean over or under watering try cutting the brown leaves off at a diagonal cut to encourage new growth sometimes when a plant gets new leaves the bottom leaves tend to turn brown or yellow if your plant does need to be re potted only go 2 inches in pot size the bigger the pot the more water you will add eventually this will cause root rot
Reply:lilies are great plants and easy to keep with a few requirements
1. you must water consistently
2. you must repot it
3. cut off the dead leaves
4. give it some plant food
5. give it some warmth and sun shine.
the main key for flowers is sun shine.
peacelilies bloom whenever they feel like it, so it may bloom in the summer. most like to bloom in the winter, but they never go dormat

Lily wants advice! No need to answer if you answered one of my other questions!?
We let her outside while cooking dinner. About 9 pm, and when we did she waswalking on her 2 front legs and holding one back leg up. Her bottom end was so heavy she kept collapsing. We had to lock her knees for her so she could take baby steps to move. We gave her 2 Advils in balogna not knowing that it was posinis to dogs. And 3 more at about 3am when we took her outside where she didn't go to the bathroom. We aren't sure if she can't go or if she doesn't have to. Then we put her in her chair and turned on the air condishoner. She was nervos and short of breath. We rubed and petted her thinking it would be her last night with us. My mom called our vet that comes to us, Dr.Frank. He didn't answer, but called back this morning at 6. He said no more advil and said either to not let her have food and water, or to go ahead and let her. My mom isn't sure which he said. We let her have a little, but she has been sleeping. We hope it doesn't shut down her kidneys. He think it might be a disc

Hi
It sounds like hip displacia to me. I had a dog that had about the same thing as you are describing, unfortunately he had to be put down as he was too old to have surgery.
What hip displacia is is when their old bones get brittle and little chips come off and rub around in their hip joints. It usually only happens to the hind quarters. This is quite painful for the animal and if it can't have surgery the most humane thing is to put it down....
Sorry to hear your dilemma and I hope she will be OK...
Reply:dont wait for ur doctor go to the vet if ur really concerned or wait fr him if u arent
Reply:It could be anything from a hip problem to just arthritis. I hope the Advil hasn't harmed her kidneys or liver but your vet can tell you that.
You will just have to wait and see. I know it's a very hard thing to do but we can't really help you any more than this.
I hope all will go well for your dog.
Reply:You'll have to wait for the vet now. That Advil surely wasn't a good idea at all.. Won't help her out no matter what's wrong with her. Good Luck!

How do you care for an easter lily?
I recieved this plant as a gift and I don't want to kill it. How often does it need water? Do you water it from the top or do you let is soak water from the bottom? Do I plant it out side or is this an inside plant? Please help.
How do you care for an easter lily?
Easter lilies will tolerate a fair amount of dryness for a short period of time so just water it thoroughly from the top or bottom when the soil feels dry to the touch. You can keep it indoors near a window until it is finished blooming then move it outdoors. After the foliage dies back cut the stem just above the bulb. Easter lily bulbs require at least a few weeks of cool temperatures (40's) to bloom well next year. Plant the bulbs about 6 to 8 inches deep to protect from freezing.
Reply:Water it from the top when it needs it, and when it gets ugly plant it, outside, in full sun. Cut off the dry foliage, and wait for next years beauty.

My peace lily has stopped blooming and the tips of the leaves are brown and it looks like its wilted help me?
I need to know how often to water, how much sun or shade needed and what is a good temp for this plant. It bloomed good and was growing just fine until I repotted it and added fertilizer about 2 months ago....please help me save the plant
My peace lily has stopped blooming and the tips of the leaves are brown and it looks like its wilted help me?
I think the problem might be in the transplanting. Why did you transplant it? When you buy/ get a Peace Lily (Spathephyllum) you should wait a good year to transplant it. There should be roots obviously coming out of the bottom of the pot. You should only transplant it into the NEXT larger size pot. So if you start off in a 6" pot, move to an 8" pot... if you move it to a much larger size pot, you run the chance of drowning the plant. When you transplant, the plant should be put into the new pot at the same level it was at in the previous pot. You should be able to see, without moving any soil, the old root ball at the surface. If you plant it too deeply (even 1/2 an inch) you can smother your plant to death. Planting too deeply may cause a plant to wilt.
Peace Lily is the same plant they used in those "beta bowls", where the roots floated exposed in water. So it is difficult to over water the plant - but not impossible.
Generally the maintenance is easy, low to medium light, temps no lower than 55 degrees. Keep it moist at all times. Chlorine in the water may cause the tips to turn brown. Leave your water out overnight, and alot of the chlorine in the water will evaporate. Even better, use rain water. Don't use distilled or bottled water, there aren't any nutrients in it. Fertilize lightly, as directed by the product you are using. (Try Schultz or Jacks).
I hope that this helps
Good luck-
** sorry, the spell-check has "gone off". ;)
Reply:Peace lilies need damp air and don't usually suffer from overwatering problems.
Surround the pot with damp peat or stand the pot on some gravel kept damp, spray the leaves with fresh water every few days. Don't keep it in full sun and don't 'overpot', they flower better if they are a bit pot bound.
Reply:Temperature: Maintain temperatures above 55 degrees F
Light: Low to bright light levels. Protect from direct sunlight
Watering: Water thoroughly then allow to dry out between watering. Generally once a week is sufficient depending on how much light it receives. A good indicator is the leaves will begin to wilt.
Fertilize: Fertilize monthly from spring to fall. Use general purpose houseplant fertilizer.
Maintenance: Cut out flowers as they fade and clean the leaves regularly.
This will keep your plant blooming Good Luck!

I have a Spathiphyllum (Peace Lily) and the leaves are curling and wilting. how do i keep it/get it healthy?
The plants leave are curling under. The flowers have bloomed but the plant just seems to be sagging. I read to only water the plant once the soil is completely dried out from the previous watering so I've been trying to stick with that. Any ideas on how to care for this plant would be much appreciated.

go ahead and remove any dead leaves, best to use sissors and cut from the bottom. put it in the shower for a minute to let the leaves and soil get nice and wet. then you need to keep it in a nice cool shady spot, these plants do not handle sunlight very well. i own about 6 of them and i have had them for about 5 years now, it was a trial and error thing for me, but now i have beautiful plants and the best part is that they are low maintainence. just water it once or twice a week while you try to bring it back, then stick to once a week.
shade and water is what your baby needs =)
Reply:It doesn't like direct sun.
And yes, it's best to let it dry between waterings - but not to the point of plant-wilt.
If it's getting "completely dry" between waterings, it's possible that the soil is so desecated that it's not taking water, and when you "water" it, the water is basicly sliding down the sides and not soaking into the soil itself. Test this by "watering" it, and then digging down with your finger - there should be no dry spots.
If this is the problem, you'll want to sink the pot in water, and let it sit for 15 minutes until the reluctant soil aborbs liquid again. Then pull out, let drain, and put back in its place.
Reply:I have one that does the same thing. I have found that by watering it when it starts to droop, it will perk back up. It's also neat to sit when it's quiet after you have watered it, because you can hear the leaves perk back up.
