Hi all! I’ve had this Spathiphyllum Domino for about a year and a half living in water. The past few months it’s been looking very sad and droopy. I have many plants that live in water (a few peace lilly types too) and this is the only one that is struggling. I generally just top up the water and occasionally I’ll fully clean them out. I use foliage focus to fertilise. Most of the roots have rotted off this guy but it’s still trying to put out new leaves. I’ve tried giving it a smaller jar, using distilled water, giving it a diluted hydrogen peroxide soak. I’ve tried giving more light and less light and nothing seems to perk it up. It’s been droopy like this for months now. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? I really like this little guy and would like to see it happy again. (Last photo is how it did look before) Thank you!!

    they like to be able to breathe. you shouldn't have the entire root system in water, that's why they're rotting. you only need water at the very bottom of the cup, maybe like 3cm worth. fertilize very lightly, they get fussy about that.

    I’ve always had problems with this plant. It’s been in semi hydro and is probably at its best. Your plant could easily be switched to same.
