please help my spathiphyllum

18 years ago

Hi, I have had this spathiphyllum for almost one year. When I got it, it was healthy with lots of spathe like flowers. Now it is almost dead and I am sad about that. It does not get direct sun, I learned that lesson in week one.

all the leaves keep dying, turning yellow then brown and just dying. I cut them off as they die but soon I will not have much of a plant. The weird thing is some new shoots are still coming out. So how is it dying and growing at the same time?

I did give it some diluted miracle-gro once, and I thought that would be good for it, but I stopped giving it that when it started to die more. I thought it would be good. It wasn't.

About 6 months ago I tried to repot it, call me an overzealous caretaker, yes I have problems. Well the plant really hated repotting so I put it back in it's old pot. It has never been the same since.

I always make sure it's roots are not sitting in water. I water it (with plain water now) so it is moist but not soaked.

Is there hope for my beloved plant? Please help this novice houseplant keeper rescue her favorite (only) plant! I know I am at fault here and I sincerely wish to redeem myself with better plant practices with your help!
