Please help 🥺 my peace lily has been struggling and I don’t know what else to do. The soil dries out very fast, and leaves are yellow and browning. Now I just checked and the new healthier leaves have this brown speckling? It’s further away from the windows and getting indirect bright light, my room is southeast and west facing. The leaves are dying very quickly. I don’t see any pests and I’ve used neem oil just in case there are some in the soil. What else do I need to do? Should I repot?

    Check your soil mix cactus mix or too much purlite may be drying it out too quickly. Try 60% high quality organic soil 20% perlite and 20% coco coir or peat You could also try moving it to a medium indirect light rather than a bright one. Neem can stress plants too so it may be the culprit What are you watering with? I recently switched to distilled water and noticed a big improvement Good luck they are finicky. Mine was blooming then got stressed

      thank you so much I will def change the soil recipe 😌 I usually leave tap water out for a couple days and then use it, but I should start using distilled.
