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 |

Is there anything I can do about this problem? 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! -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |

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. -- Martin & Anna Sykes ( Remove x's when replying ) http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~sykesm |

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!! |
