# so i may have messed up big time??? i have a rather large peace lily…

_Posted by nikki📀🤍🪴🌞🪬 on 2025-06-03_

so i may have messed up big time??? i have a rather large peace lily that was gifted to me after my grandma passed. for the first month or so, it sat unwatered in the dark of her bedroom. it was thriving!!! i pulled it out of its sad dark room, and from then forward, it has been so DRAMATIC! “Kiki Louise” has been repotted, is in a decently sunny spot, and gets watered pretty regularly. for the past week she has been completely lifeless and limp in her pot. so i chopped her… was that a total f\*\*\* up?? did i just mess up big time? i really hope not bc she means a LOT to me, and i just was hoping for a fresh start… is it possible she’ll come back? pic of decapitated “Kiki Louise” for tax and attention!!

I wouldn't have cut it honestly but... should grow back fine into new leaves

Stop messing with it!!! Put it in a spot where it's pretty light but does not get direct sun, water every once in a while, and just wait.
