How to Fix a Drooping Peace Lily in Under 15 Minutes

Check for Dry Soil If the soil feels dry 1-2 inches deep, your peace lily is dehydrated. Water it immediately with room-temperature water until it drains from the bottom.

Avoid Overwatering If the soil is soggy, overwatering may be the issue. Let the soil dry out slightly and ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Move It to Indirect Light Peace lilies thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch leaves, or deep shade, which slows recovery.

Trim Dead or Yellow Leaves Use sterile scissors to cut off wilted or yellowing leaves. This helps the plant focus energy on healthy growth.

Mist the Leaves for Humidity Peace lilies love humidity! Lightly mist the leaves with filtered water or place a tray of water with pebbles nearby to increase moisture.

Repot If Necessary If roots are tightly packed or growing out of the drainage holes, repot into a container 1-2 inches larger with fresh, well-draining soil.

Avoid Fertilizer Until Recovery Don’t fertilize a stressed peace lily! Wait at least a week before feeding with a diluted balanced fertilizer to prevent further shock.
