I think it was getting crown rot because the soil was above the crown area. I took some off the top and also cut some of the leaves because there was not much of a root system after I root pruned. Here is a recent picture. This is the window it normally is in front of. It is a shaded western window. We have a bunch of trees on that side of the house.

Hi Vance. One way to tell if your PL needs water is by lifting the pot.

After you water, test pots weight. Depending on light and temperature. Only you can determine whether or not your plant needs a drink.

If the pot is light weight, it probably needs watering. If heavy, then wait a few days and retest.

Another way to test is by sticking a skewer/thin stick deep in soil. If the skewer comes out wet, the bottom layer of medium is still moist.

Your PL may need time to adapt. It's probably in shock from trimming/repotting and mixing with a different medium.

The PL on the left is beautiful..very healthy and perky. Some plants are finicky. You've trimmed and repotted both plants, yet the left PL adapted well. Give it time.

I have to say the PL already looks alittle better. Only time will tell if what you did for it will give it a bill of good health. I bought a PL in the past on clearance that looked pretty dead and today I hardly recognize it, it looks so good. The hardest thing for me to do was to leave it alone while it was recovering.

Looks really good now!

Vance,
I think your PL is on its way to recovering, it'll be a monster in no time! ;)

I've never know any plant to bounce back quite like those. i just love them for that. :)

Is that a small Spath variety? I have a small variety and I just am amazed at how fast it grows. I like how it stays bush-like and does not get too tall but keeps growing more and more out and new side plants. I see a lot of Spath and 90% of them have brown tips, mine being one! :( It can be tap water, hmidity, fertilizer, ect. Most of the time it is due to humidity and tempreture. Which I am sure is the case with mine. Even though it is maybe only 1/16" of the tip, I still would like to be able to grow it with no brown tip. All of the new growth has no brown tips, but I feel the older leaves get it easier.

Yeah It's a small one. I've had to cut it back a little more because a couple of the leaves just fell over. It looks better. I'm hoping it will continue to improve and fill back out. It was much thicker when I got it.

Cheering for your plant, Vance!

Are you in Atlanta? (Just guessing from the lamp.) And don't'cha just LOVE those sand coasters? We have them all over the place, wherever someone might put a drink.

No I live in Darlington, SC. I'm just a Braves fan. Anyways my other peace lily is looking terrible now. I just watered it yesterday and it fell down like this. I did notice it looked like it was starting to wilt before I watered though. Do I need to cut these leaves?

Just a picture to look at the crown.

I would give it a while to see if they stand back up, and even then I might wait until they turn yellow before removing the droopers. Even if they're not ideal, they are helping the plant grow. Give it time to adjust to the repot, it will discard leaves as it sees fit. The thing now is to find a great spot it (they) really like, as much light as possible without sunburning.

I love baseball but don't follow it too closely, just like watching a game once in a while. If you're a Braves fan, you've probably heard of Kent Mercker. I went to HS with him. In any case, cute lamp!!

Yeah baseball is awesome. Some of the leaves are getting black spots on them. Even the stems. Here's a picture from today. It looks worse

Here's another picture.

That doesn't look good. Is the soil soggy wet? Looks it but hard to know from a pic.

It was soggy. I I took it out and potted again. I'm praying that it works.
