The Garden Helper - Care of Peace Lilies
I water my peace lilies until the water runs through the bottom and then let dry out slightly before watering again. They are one of the few plants I prefer to keep in plastic pots rather than clay because the plastic retains the water longer so I don't have to water as frequently. Watching the leaves of your peace lily is valuable as they quickly droop when thirsty. Usually a good, well-drained soak perks them up again within a few hours. After awhile you might learn what to look for just before the leaves begin to wilt and use that as a sign of when to water.
Keep us posted on how your peace lilies are doing! We love to hear each other's gardening experiences!![[Big Grin]](im/biggrin.gif)

Anytime, Eagle. I don't know much but I'm willing to share what I know.

not shiny like they were before

so, how often and how much should i water it for it to become healthy again? it's really making me sad that it's dying, thanks
