What happened to my Peace Lilly? Why is she suddenly dying? I keep her in medium indirect light and water bottom up once a week.

Looks like overwatering - check the soil before watering- unfortunately plants don’t follow a set schedule. Any environmental changes - time of year affecting the lighting, humidity etc can affect how much water the plant can use. If there is too much left over - you get root rot that in turn can cause the leaves to look like this. I’d recommend checking the roots. Also use the bamboo skewer trick for water watering - stick it in to the bottom of the pot and then pull it out. If it comes out damp and crumbly it is not ready to be watered.

Thank you!! May be overwatering is main cause.

My peace Lilly is very dramatic. I don’t water her until her leaves droop and literally an hour later she looks better lol. Make sure she dries out before you use the “droop” method though because they also do that from overwatering.
