Peace Lily is one of the few house plants that can survive in dim corners. Peace Lily plants can live in low light conditions. However, they can only survive in them but can not produce blooms in low light. Therefore you should increase the intensity of light, but very high light can cause the leaves to turn yellow.
The Peace Lily plant thrives in temperatures between sixty-five to eighty-five degrees Fahrenheit eighteen to 29 degrees Celsius. This is why they can be kept as indoor plants. However, if your plant starts developing yellows leaves, then the cause can be that it is being kept under high or low temperatures. Peace Lily does not require a lot of fertilizer as they only need basic nutrition to survive. However, like many other plants, even Peace Lily starts developing yellow leaves due to a lack of nitrogen.
Magnesium or iron deficiencies can be another cause, and they are easier to spot. If the plant has either deficiency, then leaves will turn yellow, but the veins remain green. This plant is easygoing and does not need to be repotted or transplanted often.
But like any other plant, it still needs space to grow and enough nutrients in the soil to thrive. If the plant has become too large for the pot, then the soil will not be able to retain the nutrients needed by the plant, which results in yellow leaves. Peace Lily does not attract a lot of pests, unlike other houseplants.
If they are kept clean and healthy, then bugs will stay away from them. However, they are not immune and can be attacked by insects and pests. All you need to do is leave your water pitcher or container in the sun for a day or two to let the chlorine evaporate, or boil and let cool before use. Lighting is one of the main causes of yellow peace lily leaves. Peace lilies love light, but too much direct sunlight can scorch leaves, making them dry out and take on a pale yellow hue.
However, too little light could be a contributing factor. Peace lilies are naturally found on jungle floors, flourishing in the sunlight filtered by trees overhead.
To mimic these conditions indoors, place your potted peace lilies by an east-facing window, or in a bright corner that receives indirect sunlight throughout the day. Outdoor peace lilies should be planted with some care. The spot you choose should either get plenty of morning light or filtered sunlight throughout the day. A shady spot near an east-facing wall is ideal. Extreme temperature fluctuations can stress your peace lilies out, causing their leaves to turn yellow.
Temperatures that dip below the optimal range for tropical plants are another stressor that can affect the color of peace lily leaves. As mentioned, peace lilies thrive in jungle-like environments USDA zones 10 — 12 , so they love warm, muggy weather. The optimal temperature range for peace lilies is between 65 and 85F — one of the reasons why they make such great indoor plants.
When temperatures dip below 65F and you experience a sudden cold snap, it could cause yellowing. Extreme heat can also have the same negative effects, usually accompanied by wilting. A thermometer placed next to the plant will indicate whether the temperature is causing your yellow leaf issues. Place your peace lily in the warmest room of your house, especially in winter. Keep the pot away from the windows as it can get extremely cold near glass, and avoid direct sunlight to prevent overheating.
The safest way is to have a hole into the side of its pot that drains out any excess water after irrigation. Treating diseases on your peace lily may require a visit to the lab with a sample of the plant to check the specific disease and what to do as a remedy. In some cases, the whole plant may need to be killed off especially if it the disease or pest has spread too much.
The best fertilization routine should be a handful of fertilizer every 2 or 3 months. This should be done with balanced fertilizer in the ratio of for the proper nutrition. Heat, cold, humidity and other environmental stressors can occur for a while and then go away usually after two weeks. The plant is expected to recover after this period. If not, you should restore the previous conditions before the plant dies off.
For the repotting, avoid adding any new soil on the plant in the new pot as it easily leads to the rotting of the roots and color changes in the leaves. These are solutions you can easily find and apply to your plant. Always consult with the experts who sold you the plant whenever you see anything uncommon with the plant.
Rather, you simply need to trim off the affected areas and the leaf will remain in good condition. To cut off the affected leaf, make sure you follow it all the way to the base of the stem and where it joins the main stem. For trimming, cut a short distance into the leaf and away from the edge. I have been trying to maintain this plant for over a year. The yellowing leaves, brown leaf tips, cracked split leaves are difficult and discouraging to deal with.
I have used Miracle-Gro, reverse osmosis water and replanting — nothing seems to work. Can you help? Peace lily Spathiphyllum is an evergreen tropical plant found on the forest floor of rain forests. There are many varieties of peace lilies on the market today. There could be a number of causes for the problems you have been having with your plant. Peace lily prefers to have medium, indirect sunlight and will develop yellow leaves if it is getting too much light or very low light.
Brown spots and streaks can also develop if direct sun is hitting the plant. It is best to try to keep the peace lily a few feet away from a window to help keep light levels consistent and even. From your picture, it seems likely that the plant is not getting enough light. Peace lilies will perform well when grown under fluorescent lights.
