# I have my peace Lilly from my grandfathers funeral and it isn’t doing…

_Posted by Brijae on 2025-05-22_

I have my peace Lilly from my grandfathers funeral and it isn’t doing too well. I have it in indirect light and on a watering schedule. What to do for it to be healthy again?

Ditch the schedule. Water according to soil saturation. Soil should be damp not saturated or soggy. Clean the leaves. They attract dust easy which can hinder the photosynthesis process. And check for pests.

### Dory commented on 2025-05-22

It actually looks like they didn’t get saturated properly… are you top or bottom watering? Pot also looks super large for that plant

### Brijae commented on 2025-05-22

Yes it was reported by my dad. I traveled back home to get it. Should put it in a smaller pot? I have been top watering.

### Brijae commented on 2025-05-22

Repotted

### KJM commented on 2025-05-22

Repot into a pot with a drain hole. Water as needed. Planta is a great watering guide but common sense is also needed.

Thanks. Common sense made me ask why my plant isn’t thriving.

I've been looking more at your pictures. You're peace lily does not look that bad. The pot might be a little on the large size and you could repot it, but not really necessary unless there's no drain hole. Did you separate it from a combination planter or repot it? If you did it could be just going through transition. It doesn't look any worse than the peacelily I just divided.

I agree the soil isnt totally saturated. When you water plants, especially hydrophobic plants you need to DTH, Drown That Hoe. Multiple saturations. All of the soil needs to be wet, put the whole plant in the sink.
