# Help! We received this peace Lilly for my mother in laws funeral. It…

_Posted by katelyn on 2026-08-02_

Help! We received this peace Lilly for my mother in laws funeral. It was left in the trunk of the car for a day which is why it looks like this. I transplanted it to a bigger pot, and watered it but it has not improved at all. What can I do to save this?

I’ve seen/read that they can be dramatic so hopefully that’s the answer!!!  
I also have a Peace Lilly which I love but even with moving 2-3 times, mine has never been dramatic like this though. Hoping yours pulls through okay!

they are indeed very dramatic. sometimes they take a few days to bounce back from dehydration, it's common

Drama queens for sure! Hope she decides all is well and perks up.

they're so dramatic, she just wants water. i had to get rid of mine (for free!) because i couldn't deal with her on top of all my other plants lol also, i'm sorry for your loss!

Your plant just went through shock with a sudden climb in environmental temp then back low in your house. Just keep her hydrated and give her a few days to recover. She should start to perk up

Update!! I checked her roots because 2weels was way too long of her being so dramatic. She was very root bound. I disturbed it a bit and repotted, and gave her lots of water. She’s looking much better now! Not as good as her sister, but I’ll take it
