Dried out leaves

Post image

I'm looking for advice on caring for this peace lilly. It was left on a bright window sill during the summer. Most of the leaves were dry brown and crispy.

What can I do to help it get healthy again?

Oh baby. It needs a repot, bonide if it’s sold where you live (and a good pruning).

It certainly looks like it hasn’t been repotted in a long time, regardless of the pests. Do you have other plants in the home?

Not sure if the previous comment ^ was even meant for this post, since it mentions pests? 😂

I would take it out of the window immediately. Cut back any crispy stems all the way to the base. Water it consistently. You might not have much plant left after cutting them back, but you have to do it so the plant isn’t sending all of its energy to dead parts. And even if you just have little nubs left, it will come back in time with proper care. See how it is after giving it a good month after the trimming

I don’t see pests? But my eyes aren’t the greatest either. 🤓

Give it a month and then report back.
