Hi, I rescued this plant and brought it back to life but recently juts started showing yellowing leaves (have removed three). I live in a flat with old sash windows so it can get chilly. I’ve moved it away from the window. Coudl it be that? Definitely not overwatering. I onyl ever bottom water this plant. It could it be the soil needs some fertiliser/nutrients? Help as I love this Peace Lily
Things can be overwatered or underwatered, whether the water comes from the top or the bottom. It is just less likely with bottom watering because the water has to move against gravity and be wicked up. That said, it’s a peace lily. They are known to be thirsty and faint when dry. I would douse her from the top and let her sit in water for ten minutes. Then remove excess water and see how things look in a few hours. If the leaves bounce back quickly, it was thirsty. If not, look more at the possibility of it being cold. (There is very low risk of an extra watering doing further damage at this point, like there would be with many other plants.)
1 likeFertilizer may help and they do like it long term, but the wilting really makes me think it’s just thirsty right now. I also find that Planta lets my peace lilies get borderline on too dry in the winter. Unlike the summer where it’s too frequent and I often hold off.
