Peace Lily Black Leaves: Root Rot from Overwatering

Black, wrinkly leaves = root rot. Peace lilies wilt dramatically when dry, tempting overwatering. Constant moisture rots roots silently.

Rescue Attempt

1. Let soil dry to wilt point.
2. Water minimally—just to perk up in few hours.
3. Repeat: water only when wilted, just enough.
4. If already wilted + wet soil = roots dead. Discard.

No fertilizer, fungicides, or repotting helps. Oxygen via drying is the only cure.
