Reviving a Heat-Stressed Peace Lily: Quick Recovery from Heating Vent Damage

A peace lily wilted by a heating vent is likely just severely dry. These plants collapse dramatically when parched but rebound within hours of a thorough soak.

Rescue Steps

1. Water deeply until soil is saturated.
2. If soil repels water, set pot in a saucer of water for 30 minutes.
3. Move to bright indirect light, away from all heat sources.
4. Resume normal care: water when top inch dries.

Note: Cold damage or chronic overwatering also cause wilting but won't revive with water. If it perks up, it was just thirst. Peace lilies are tough—don't panic.
