# Hello 🤍! I’m wondering if someone can help me figure out what’s…

_Posted by Sab on 2025-05-09_

Hello 🤍! I’m wondering if someone can help me figure out what’s happening to my peace lily! I’ve had it in this jar for years, and it’s been fine living in water. Just recently a lot of its leaves turned yellow and I had to cut them off. And now two of them have these little black/brown dots/streaks on the leaves. Does anyone know what’s happening? Or if it’s possible to save it?

i think it’s because the water isn’t giving it enough nutrients, i suggest giving it some fertilizer. i have slow release pebble fertilizer in the water for my plants

I agree with this comment!

Ahh I see! I’ll have to try that, thank you so much for your input!!

ya ofc!!

### Zoey commented on 2025-05-09

Are you fertilizing? Since water has no nutrition

#### Sab replied on 2025-05-09

I haven’t, but I’m going to try that! Thank you! 💚

Plenty of roots. Why not pot it up and see what happens. And are you sure that’s a peace lily?

#### Sab replied on 2025-05-09

I should try that! Yes, years ago my mom and I bought this peace lily and tried splitting it. But most of the plant got root rot, so I took what was left over and added it into water! I’ll definitely try placing it back in a pot to see how it reacts. Thank you!!
