SOS SOS SOS SOS SOSSSSSSSSS!!! HEEEEELP!!!!!!!! (Alright I’ll calm down :))  
My beautiful peace lily has just flowered, and it’s getting tonnes of new growth. But recently, my mother repotted all the plants (which I’m fine with) but didn’t do the peace lily and instead watered it off schedule. I just watered it yesterday without knowing, then when the base flooded and soaked my carpet I took it out and quickly examined it. Two leaves are suddenly brown, and the cut bits that used to be green at the base is now all dry and brown. Heeeelp!!!!!!!

My peace lily always has some leaves with brown on the edge. I wait till it droops to water, so I figure that’s the reason for some brown leaves. The rest of the plant is healthy, so I don’t worry about a couple brown leaves too much.

If the soil is still soaked, replace some of the soil with dry soil. I have even used paper towels to absorb water and even used a blow dryer on low on some of the soil. Aerate it so it can begin to dry. I have made many a watering mistakes in my early days !
