# Hi, I found this plant on the street (believe it to be a peace Lily)…

_Posted by Plant Mumma on 2023-10-03_

Hi, I found this plant on the street (believe it to be a peace Lily) and I’ve repotted it but the leaves are so droopy . Any advice! I heard these were dramatic plants but I would love to bring this back to life. Currently trying sitting it in a bowl of water (not tap water) to see if it props up! Any suggestions?

I would just give it some time to recover from the shock of being outside and repotted.

Thanks. Roots are all fine and it’s in fresh nourishing soil. Can’t believe someone threw it out. Must’ve thought it was dead but it’s so healthy and green - just a little ‘sad’

Yeah or they just didn’t know what to do with it. Lucky you found em’!

I’ve got 5 peace lily.. they are very easy to care for. They droop when they need water which makes for an easy reminder to water which I do once a week. Nice find! I’m sure it’ll perk back up in no time.

Did a good bottom feed watering bit hasn’t changed. Hoping to just needs a few days or weeks to recover. Any other suggestions?
