Mystery Funeral Plant Is Anthurium, Not Peace Lily: Sandy Soil, Less Water

Identification

Heart-shaped leaves, no blooms in 1.5 years = Anthurium (likely A. andraeanum), not peace lily.

Fix

  1. Repot in sandy, fast-draining mix (add coarse sand to potting soil).
  2. Water less: Drooping + damp soil = overwatering. Let dry thoroughly between waterings.
  3. Bright indirect light (your NW window is fine).
  4. No fertilizer until recovered.

Anthuriums are epiphytic—need airy roots. Heavy soil suffocates them.
