Peace Lily advice
 

Hi

I have a very large peace lily which grows very well in it's current
position, which is under a window getting sunshine in the mornings
and about 3 feet from a radiator so it's nice and warm. Because it
grows so well it has been repotted several times and over 3 years it
has progressed from a 6 inch pot to an 18 inch terracotta pot. I
feed it with Miracle grow

It flowers constantly and always has at least 3 large flowers on it
at any one time and it constantly produces new leaves. The problem I
have is with the leaves. Not long after they appear they get brown
edges, so the plant looks pretty tatty most of the time. This
happens all year round so I don't think it has anything to do with
the radiator. Is there anything I can do about this problem?

TIA

Angela

Dry air, possibly?

But you may have it in the wrong spot. My peace lilies are flourishing
standing in the fireplace in a north facing room about 10ft from the
window - about as far as you can get from radiator and sunshine!

I have two. The one in the bathroom is green and lush. The one in the living
room regularly gets the brown crinkly edges. It's either the light or the
humidity. If you like it where it is, try misting with water every day.

I will try that. I would move it but it is so large I have no where
to else it can go, actually it's too heavy to move..............not a
good idea using a terracotta pot!!
