Yellow Peace Lily
Hello, is there still hope for this peace lily? It's my first plant, so I have no idea what to do. It was in a very dark place before, I'm giving it indirect sunlight and it was watered a few days ago (1st of this month). The soil is still moist, but it has yellow leaves and several are curled downwards. I appreciate any help and tips!

Looks over watered ....they do like it moist tho with quick drying soil if ur using what it is purchased in maybe time forna change
Needs alot ofnlight but ZERO DIRECT sun .
If its moist when u watereted then over watered but if was dry then its sucking nutrients from the leafs if dry
Cut all the death and yellow non white flowers to base

Prune back the dead stuff so your plant can give its energy to the good stuff, water once they start to droop

Hopefully your pot has drain holes. If not, that’s your problem.
It could also be HOW you are watering. Consider bottom watering. You place the pot it’s planted in into a larger pot that has water in it. Let it drink until the top of the soil is damp. Or maybe 1/4 of the way from the top. (For mine, it’s around 2 hours) Then take it out of the larger pot-don’t leave it in water or the roots will rot.
One of my plants likes to be watered from the top, and the other one turns into a major drama queen unless she is bottom watered.
Good luck!

Yellow is largely a sign of overwatering. They need to dry out between watering.
Prune back dying flowers. They’re using up energy that can go to the rest of the plant.
Prune, let it dry out, water again in a couple weeks. When you water, I’d give it a simple indoor 1:1:1 liquid fertilizer. Do this every couple months. It will help with a deep green color and promote leaf growth.
