7 Common Peace Lily Problems and How to Fix Them

Yellowing Leaves Cause: Overwatering or underwatering. Fix: Ensure the soil is evenly moist and well-draining. Let the top inch dry out between waterings, and avoid waterlogged soil.

Brown Tips on Leaves Cause: Low humidity or underwatering. Fix: Increase humidity by misting the leaves or using a humidity tray. Ensure the plant is watered consistently.

Drooping Leaves Cause: Underwatering or low light. Fix: Check for dry soil and water thoroughly. Also, move the plant to a location with bright, indirect light.

Pests (Spider Mites, Mealybugs) Cause: Infestation from pests. Fix: Wipe leaves with a damp cloth or treat the plant with insecticidal soap.

No Blooms Cause: Lack of light or nutrients. Fix: Ensure the plant gets bright, indirect light and feed it with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.

Leaf Spots Cause: Fungal or bacterial infections. Fix: Remove infected leaves, and avoid overhead watering. Ensure the plant has good air circulation.

Root Rot Cause: Overwatering or poor drainage. Fix: Remove the plant from the pot, trim off rotting roots, and repot in fresh, well-draining soil.
