Would this be a peace lily?
Dark green with white flowers?

If so, I know from experience, if you touch the leaves at all - the kind of
thing you are describing happens. Not sure exactly why, something to do
with the oils from your skin rubbing off on the plant. Will also happen if
a cat rubs against it too. Agree with the others that there may be too much
water. What time of day do you water it and how often?

My wife and I have this lilly, at least she tells me it's a lilly,
that is in really bad shape. Every couple of weeks it gets a new
healthy looking green leaf. Within a few days, however, this new leaf
starts to get a dark, limp area on one edge, that spreads over the
next couple of days until it is a withered mess.

The entire plant has only one reasonable leaf on it, and that one is
on its way out. What is wrong with this plant?

Thanks, Mike
