How to revive a drooping peace lily: Expert-approved steps for a fast recovery

Peace lily plant by window.

The peace lily is a favorite houseplant, and for a good reason. Apart from its stunning leaves and elegant flowers, peace lilies have many benefits in the home. This multifaceted houseplant boosts humidity, acts as a mini air purifier and can reduce airborne mold spores. With so many benefits, it’s worth having one in every room.For this reason, it’s worth taking care of your peace lily to ensure it stays in good health, so if you spot that your peace lily is drooping, it’s time to take action. I called on houseplant experts to find out what to do if you notice your peace lily is drooping and looking forlorn. Claire Bishop, senior plant buyer at Dobbies, says, “Spathiphyllums, or peace lilies, are a popular choice thanks to their beautiful appearance and how low maintenance they are.” And adds, “They flourish in low light and are generally easy to care for, requiring water only when the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch.”However, if you notice that the plant’s leaves start to droop, it’s a sign that they need attention to bring them back to full health.
