Troubleshooting a New Peace Lily: Drooping Leaves and Browning Flowers

Drooping Causes

Dry soil: Water thoroughly; should perk up in hours.
Root rot (wet soil but still droopy): Roots dead from overwatering; can’t absorb water.

Occur in both scenarios. Natural aging also turns flowers brown after ~1 week.
