Neighbor gave us a peace lily to try to save. From what she said and my opinions on it, probably not enough sun and overwatering. Thought are appreciated, also is this pot too large? Thanks

The pot could be too big, you would have to pop it out and have a look at the root system/ball. To me it looks a bit under watered if the leaves are crispy. 😁

I don’t have any advice but the poor thing! Thank you for trying to save it.

The new pot should only be an inch or two wider than that root ball so the roots can use up all the water in the soil before the next watering. Excess soil holds excess moisture that rots the roots. 🪴🍀
