They are dramatic. #### Anthony replied on 2026-06-04 According to the app it was ages ago, over 10days. I’m due for water in 4? ### Mikel’s Plant Posse commented on 2026-06-04 I just saw a poster amazed at what 30 minutes after watering did to his peace lily that looked similar to what you got goin on there…good luck! #### Anthony replied on 2026-06-04 I’ll give her a water and check back in and hour and hope it’s recovering #### Anthony replied on 2026-06-04 Update: it looks the same :( maybe after a few hours of absorbing the water ### Amelian.millions commented on 2026-06-04 If i don’t water my peace lily in time they really start to die. It had only 1 flower and after a while it ended up making 3 flowers. they all died cuz I didn’t water in time even though this app said I was still good. I’ve also had it for like half a year and last week the flowers started suddenly dying. It’s definitely a dramatic plant like the other comment said. I have like 15 plants and that’s the only one that started dying a little #### Anthony replied on 2026-06-04 I find that if I follow the app, I’m struggling to keep a lot of the plants in a good state. I’m not sure if it’s just that time of year, if this house gets too hot quickly in the morning with a heater (although they are kept away from vents) or user error Some of mine are fine but my orchids and now peace lily is struggling #### Growing army replied on 2026-06-06 The app always makes u over water!!! Also my peacelilly did the same thing I just moved her indoors away from the heat! ### Amelian.millions commented on 2026-06-04 I always struggled with orchids. I’ve had 10 different ones before that all died. I have successfully kept the one I have now for 4 months now. I have all my plants in a cooler temp cuz thats just how it is where they are. They need very little water. Hotter temps shouldn’t be too bad as long as it’s not too hot but maybe the heater makes them dry out more quickly? The peace lily’s definitely need a lot of water. They have to stay moist #### Anthony replied on 2026-06-04 Yeah the app is telling me to water every 14days now, I just noticed that the last one was like 20days ago so I reckon that would be causing it. I might have to just do the old “dip a stick in to see if it’s moist” trick my aunt taught me with these guys ### Amelian.millions commented on 2026-06-04 And this app isn’t the greatest. I kind of just periodically check to see if the soil is dry and I would just water them and skip the next time it says to water it ### Amelian.millions commented on 2026-06-04 You can also look into those bulb rods that hold water so it can keep it moist. Also really good for if you go on vacations. I’ve been wanting to get some #### Anthony replied on 2026-06-04 Never heard of them, what are they called? If I google that, I get a plant #### Psychic Teacher replied on 2026-08-17 Here they are. I got these from Temu. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/DQXrcc7iMTw3LlJbRtX2qNmH7ZWcT8gtIHoPVAA4II4/cFs-Q8vCRwqyG5ioplUG-w.webp?size=large) ### Amelian.millions commented on 2026-06-04 Glass watering bulb for plants ### Amelian.millions commented on 2026-06-04 Or self watering spikes ### Dondoo52 commented on 2026-06-05 The app is just a reminder. You should always check your plants before watering. Some have meters and others use chop sticks to check the soil. Peace lilies let you know when they need water, they faint (droop like they are dying) 😂. But usually they perk right back up after a drink. I water mine at least once a week (the app says every 4 days). The flowers don’t last long, they bloom and then die, that’s normal. If it doesn’t bounce back after watering, it may be something else happening. Check for pests and root rot in that case. #### Anthony replied on 2026-06-05 Yeah I’ve watered this morning but she hasn’t perked up yet, so I think it could be root rot. I’m gonna take it out of the pot and repot into something with more drainage, I don’t think this is the best pot ### Anthony commented on 2026-06-05 Yeah I reckon she needs to have the roots inspected, this is worse than this morning ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/uH-yp_GH52i0AmAinsv35AaloExNXiI014dPXsqZhvo/1SJIVErDSSy0mvspfv0-cw.webp?size=large) [More comments](https://getplanta.com/community/lKxUkhzRR_aIJD7o1QvtwQ/j8fMjNtFGkjWUju0C7nw33.md?cursor=GCyqSwozthhQb3N0cy5HZXRBbGwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABikPSzVV3hGA) --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
