Peace Lily Flower Fading and Repotting Mistakes

Brown Flower: Normal Aging

Spathiphyllum flowers turn green, then brown as they age. Cut the stalk off at the base when brown.

Repotting Caused Stress

Peace lilies prefer being root-bound. Moving to a larger pot (especially >2" increase) leads to overwatering and root rot.

Correct Watering After Overpotting

• Wait until soil is dry 3 days after you notice dryness before watering.
• Water thoroughly, drain excess.
• Bright indirect light (your patio door spot is good).
• No fertilizer until recovered.

Roots rot easily in excess soil. The plant may drop leaves but should stabilize with strict dry-down cycles.
