    I have 2 peace Lilly’s and they usually have some brown tipped leaves, some yellow and when they bother me I cut them off. I’ve had my peace Lilly’s for 16plus years. Looking at your picture it seems like everything is drooping. Do you have a meter that measure how wet it is? It really needs to dry out between watering. How often are you watering it? Is it getting any kind of sunlight? It doesn’t need much but it needs some. Here is a picture of mine. I put them outside every summer as I live in New Hampshire. They thrive and bloom like crazy all summer. They gets lots of indirect sunlight as they don’t like sun beating on them. They are by my front door com the north side of my house. I would cut all the brown & yellow leaves off. I would also get a meter to make sure you’re not overwatering it. Hope this all helps.

      I do not have a meter, what would you recommend. I’m watering it once every 6-8 days depending on the soil dryness. I live in Indiana & the weather fluctuates crazy. When you cut them is there a specific technique? I am very new with plants.

      You can get a water meter a Walmart for about $12 Do you have it outside? Is that why you are talking about the weather fluctuations? The weather up here is pretty similar this time of year. I just take my plant scissors and cut them off as far down as I can. I am more concerned about the droopiness of your plant. The water meter is placed way down in the soil so it gives you a better idea of when it needs water. It may feel dry on top but still be wet further down. Does it have good drainage and you don’t let it sit on water right? Let me know if you can find the meter invite Walmart app. Hope this all helps.

    I work the mornings & I don’t have any shade outside. She stays inside in my dining room. She has good drainage & I don’t let it sit in the water. Should i possibly move it to another location?

      Is it getting enough light? From October to June mine live in my living room that gets light from a south side sliders. However it’s not direct light as they are about 8 feet from the sliders. They seem to thrive there and then outside from June to October they thrive. Is there a place in your home that’s light without being too much light? That’s the only thought I have for you. Keep me posted on how it’s going.

    The rest of the plant looks healthy, it could just be natural as some plants lose leaves as to allow them to get bigger. Ask the dr Planta and give it all the info you can it can tell you wether it’s under watered or natural
