Can someone please help me with my peace lily? Not sure if the sun is burning it or too much water.

First, the flowers won't last forever they will Brown and fade and that's normal. Second, I'm always suspicious of wicker baskets because they don't usually have drainage so soggy soil could be your problem. It does not look like sunscorch to me. Most of the plant looks very good. I can't tell from the picture if the plant is planted into the wicker basket or if the basket is just a cover for a utility pot. One picture looks like there might be a nursery pot in there and the other one looks like it's just moss on the top. If it's a cover pot make sure you take it out when you water and don't let it sit in the excess water. If it's planted in there get another pot with drainage.

Do you keep it in those wicker basket., if so they hold moisture and heat. You may not be overwatering but that basket most likely is making the soil stay too wet. Does the pot have good drainage holes and do you allow the plant to completely drip all the water away and not leaving the plant sitting in a basket of water

It’s in a nursery pot but when I water I don’t take it out. Maybe that’s the issue? Should I cut off some of the dead/dying stems?

That helps a lot! It is in a nursery pot that sits in the wicker basket.

### Yolanda kommenterede den 2025-05-12

Oh yeah then that’s your problem get it out of that basket that’s just mainly something cute in my opinion to send the plant home 😊

Yes cut away all brown leaves and cut the brown off the tips of the leaves that are not brown any where else

If you want to keep it in the wicker basket I’d recommend taking it out when watering it and letting it drain fully before butting it back. A moisture meter is cheap \& easy to use. It will help you gage how wet your soil is \& how often to water. a new soil change would be good for the plant since it’s spring, especially if it’s been a while. Hope this helps! :)
