Can someone help figure out what’s wrong with my flamingo Lily - she was growing really great for a while and now a couple leaves have brown spots and holes. Also the current flower is brown and is drying up - I am new to the plant community any advice helps! Thank you!

Check the roots - may need to be repotted.

Flowers of flamingo lily are like that, it will die and a new one will bloom. I cannot say the same thing about the brown leaves. It might’ve related to water. Flamingo lilies love bright and humid places

Thank you! I will check the roots and make sure it’s getting enough sun!

Personally I wouldn’t advise touching/disturbing the roots unless you have a much bigger issue. Agree on the flower- most last a few weeks or a month and then die, growing new flowers. Brown tips every now and then could be a few things. Generally, no need to worry unless it explodes with a lot more. If so, the first thing I’d check is when you’re watering.
