How much do you water? I water once a week, about 4-5 cups of water, and mine is about three times your size. Also, does your pot have drainage holes? That’s a very important part so that your plant is not sitting in water, which can lead to root rot. I suggest watching some YT videos about peace Lily care\\problems. Hopefully that helps :)

I always have my Lily in bright filtered sunlight. Do you keep yours close or far from natural light?

mine is about 4ft away from natural light, but my room gets really bright (idk if that’s helpful)
