# Hi guys, my peace Lily has been doing so well! But recently I’ve…

_Posted by Lily on 2024-04-21_

Hi guys, my peace Lily has been doing so well! But recently I’ve noticed she’s really droopy and the stems are quite floppy. I watered her yesterday with non chlorinated water through the top and let the water drain out the bottom (I heard somewhere every now and then you need to do this to help wash out unwanted minerals and stuff) but most of the time I water her through the feet and then let her drain and put her back into the pot. I do this whenever she looks droopy and I put my finger into the soil down deep to check it it’s dry. Any tips would be appreciated!

My peace lily looked similar also, so I pruned her outer leaves. I saw a video that said the new growth comes from the middle, so it’s ok to prune a few outer leaves to promote upward growth. Mine looked super bushy and messy before and now she’s a lot cleaner.
