My Peace Lilly murder rate 100%. So I stopped and got another hobby. Drinking. By an open drafty door in direct sunlight. Hope I don't turn green,,,,,,,,
I find it incredulous that these are the only 10+ minute videos that keep me entertained all the way through. I don't watch any other channel with such long videos. Well done @SheffieldMadePlants.
I’ve had a Peace Lilly for 23 years. It was in one of those house warming baskets with other plants. I’ve only repotted it twice and have never fertilized it 😮😊. I’ve kept it together with a pothos and a Dieffenbachia (dumb cane) plant and it only blooms sporadically but mostly in the Spring and Summer. She is kept in the brightest room of the house. I feel pretty lucky not have any issues. 🤞🏼
I've had mine since my first year of Uni, 1995. It's huge. Flowers twice a year, white flowers which turn green with age. The reason they do better in shops is a specific acid causes them to bloom more.
@@carmenlane7681 what size pots were they in? Mine was a gift .. very dark leaves & very bushy. Put in ceramic pot approximately 2" wider, but the depth was slightly deeper than original pot.
@@patpapa3204 I don’t remember the original pot it was in. When I repotted, I used plastic pots. 🤭I find that they can be resilient. As long as you water when needed. They can be very dramatic, lol.
I had just gotten into plants and stumbled upon your video one day. Ended up binge watching your channel. Me and my boyfriend watch your videos every night together. Your content is so relaxing for both of us as we both have very busy days. We’ve learned a lot these past few weeks!🙂 keep making videos❤️
Posted 24 seconds ago? My insomnia in Vancouver, BC, Canada has me here early, lol! I call my Peace Lily the Drama Queen. One minute she's fine, the next she's fainting like a Southern Belle in the August Mississippi heat. 😄
@@SheffieldMadePlants And by the way, your video came in a perfect time, I have a plant similar to Peace Lily but with pink "flowers". Some of them are turning green. Thank you for your recommendations, I think the problem in my case is light. I have Sansi lights but I think the plant is too far from it.
I followed your wonderful suggestion of getting rid of the bottom of the plants and my Peace Lily immediately thanked me with 5 blooms! My plant is 15 years old and huge- it took 2 of us to move it to the bedroom balcony to get the stones and bottom several inches off! This plant sits on the floor in front of a shuttered window that is tinted. I have the shutters open a few inches and it is happy being near the South facing window. I'm in Southern California. With our extreme heats I often tilt the shutters up to allow light but not the scorching heat of the sun to come in. I do not water unless the soil is dry 1 inch down
I found a Peace Lily called 'Platinum Mist' at my local nursery. Big bonus on this variety is that the "blooms" are extremely fragrant, like a gardenia!
Me and my peace lily are at...peace lol. It gave me major headache for a while so I stuck it under a grow light for a few months to help it get established and build some serious roots/foliage. Now, it's in a Shady spot and doing well. I don't ask for blooms, and it doesn't ask for much maintenance
The flowers always start out white for me, then turn green before they die and dry out. :P When it doesn't bloom, I don't really care. I love the thick green foliage.
Loving that you finally did a peace lily video-I take cuttings and grow them and give the plants to my family with one rule- either cooled boiled water or treated water once a week and they’re fine-please could you think about doing an Anthirum video soon though pls🙂
Peace Lily (AKA funeral plant) are my easiest plant. I keep them in a northern window or in fairly low light areas and only water when they start to droop. I also move my huge ones outside in summer. They just went through a week of 100°/37° with no issues. They bloom regularly with lovely white blooms. (It must be based on length of day as they all do it at about the same time.) One tip you didn't mention is that they like to be crowded in the pot. They don't bloom after repotting until they fill in.
My peace lily and variegated one are currently blooming finally! Just one each but hey-ho, it’s a start! 😊 Both set just back from an east facing window.
Mine's been struggling on a west window for a while now and this week I moved it in front of an east-facing window and it is so much perkier. Definitely doesn't like the window open - I could feel it flinching 🤣 I'm hoping it will gloss up again and maybe even bloom 🤞🏼
I always look forward to your fun & informative posts; learned a lot. You may have changed your advice since you posted this 5 years ago. In that case… sorry. But, at least for new listeners, I have to add this. With Peace Lilly’s, even in the healthiest plants, the pure white bloom ages. As it does it does, it greens, always. The high fertilizer and/ or low light can hasten it, but it will turn green. As for me, when mine are fully green, I pull the bloom downward & easily remove it. That leaves a new & interesting look to my plant for another week or 2. I’m leaving the center piece on the stem. It is lovely! When it shrivels, I cut the stem & wIt for new blooms. ❤️
I actually grow mine in water and no soil at all. It's about 10 years old now. It does bloom with white spathes, but not all that often. I usually get one or two blooms per year. But I actually like the foliage better than the 'flowers' so that's not a problem for me.
Thank you, perfect timing to come across this video. I rescued an almost dead peace lily from a friend, it came back really fast by repotting and living on the floor of my shower and shot out four or five beautiful white blooms. Then they died off and it has only managed two green ones since.
My mom is a massive plant killer, I must have taken it from her 😆. But she has the most amazing Peace Lily ever 😍. She even makes little lillies babies and they thrive as well. She almost killed it until she put it in the bathroom with a big window but not direct sunlight. It's a wet bathroom, ones that have a drain on the floor. Since then this plant is thriving in a way I've never seen it anywhere else.
Must say I quite like those green flowers 😊. Mine is drooping like crazy at the moment, defo overwatered. I'm going change the compost tomorrow, I've bought a good houseplant compost and perlite so I'm hoping this will make her happy again 😊x
People make the mistake of buying this plant and then immediately repotting it into a pot too big for the root system. They like snug pots but people think 'I'll put it in this big pot so it can GROW'. But that gives it too much soil and takes too long to dry out = slow death.
Thank you! You saved me from wanting this drama queen...just lost my 6 year old desert rose! 😢 saved the branches too propagate, but my heart feels they will die too...still not over the loss.
The only reason why my Peace Lily hasn't seen the inside of the dirt bin is because it was a gift from my granddaughter. I've tried everything and still the leaves are drooping. 😣
I bought my peace lily this summer and it’s doing well so far. When I got it there were so many blooms, which is why I bought her. She still puts out several blooms but now they are doubled, not just one “petal” but two! I’ve ever seen that before. Any thoughts? 😊
Since I started using water conditioner for my maranta specifically, it's made a huge difference....everything else is wrong with my maranta lol, but no more brown tips. I don't have a peace lily but it sounds a lot like a maranta....its OK, my maranta and I will find common ground eventually. Lol. Also, I know it's a boring and silly thing to he excited about, but I LOVE the measuring cup on the top of my water conditioner. It's perfect for measuring both the conditioner and small batches of fertilized water...
Excellent video. I used to have a peace lily but re-homed it when I found out it's toxic to cats (and dogs too I think). Now I only buy pet safe plants and keep them in my bedroom. The only room with south and west sun exposure.
I love having a question, searching it, and getting legitimately happy and relived that Mr Sheffield has of course already answered 😂 Just bought a young peace lily from fb marketplace yesterday, honestly this has become a new addiction. But. Its replaced bad ones. I wish I'd gone to the green side way earlier
Your videos have me watching twice... Once for info with me actually laughing loud enough I miss content Second time to hear all content and still chuckle... I absolutely love your videos...
This was SO FUNNY but oh so TRUE!!! The plant is a diva but I keep trying to make it happy. Gonna watch more of you vids for the help and for the laughs!! 😂 Thank you
Oh yes the peace lily, the most complicated house plant. I work in a garden centre and the peace Lilly is my biggest concern. They get these dropping of the leaves from the base of the leaf not stalk, I found once they do this, they will not stand upright again, but the problem? I suspect our tin shed shop is to cold for them, yet not all peace lillies next to each other will do the same. When over watered they will also do this. When under watered they droop from the base of the stem. With a lot of TLC they can come back, having to remove all the bent leaves, and waiting months for all the new leaves to grow.
We have two peace lilly’s - we only thoroughly water when the leaves droop , within hours they sit up lively and it will be up to 4 weeks before watering again. Ours don’t get the wonderful amount of light yours do but we have had white flowers regularly albeit only a couple at a time. The peace Lilly is a truly low maintenance plant, nearly as good as our faux plants 😅
My Peace Lilies never flower, sust a foliage plant. On ONE occasion one did, and it was kept in a low light place and rather forgotten, and the spathe was white. I find they don't like a lot of light personally, mine go yellow so I put them into medium light. The Chlorine tip is the best one though, I use API too Mr Sheffield ! 🌿
I agree with undying 😋 I am so fed up with this peace lily I’ve been trying to nurture for three years only because my niece gave it to me or it would’ve been tossed a year ago. No matter where I put it or what I do for it ,it always has droopy leaves. 😂
Hello 👋, I have one. It was gorgeous, making what I call "jungle leaves", making flowers leaves.... And few months ago just start to have brow/black spots, losing leaves... It now 10 times smaller, she was so gorgeous and big! I have made my reseaches and still don't understand why !!!! Now last chance, it's in water!
My niece has a HUGE peace lily that she got when her dad passed in 2010 or 11, it keeps blooming and getting bigger and she hardly does anything to it, I on the other hand can’t keep one a month before it joins the person whose funeral it came from 😢
I feel bad, I’ve only had my plant about 10 months and it’s blooming (the right colour) and not drooping at all. What am I doing wrong! It was a gift from a friend who said it never bloomed for her at all. I guess I’m just lucky with this plant.
Here in the USA, my flowers are red, currently have 9 blooms. I have found the perfect place for it on my kitchen count, about 1/2 meter from afternoon sun. In winter I put it closer, slightly to the side. South facing, in Coastal Texas. Too bad I cannot attach a picture. (I had nearly killed the poor thing, then found it's spot)
I have a moisture meter, but I have to say: my peace lily tells me perfectly when it wants to be watered: the tip of the flower tends to droop a day before you see the drooping of leaves. So as soon as a flower droops, it gets watered.
I just think it’s funny how most big stores classify the peace lily as low maintenance but boy would they be wrong. 😂 thank you for the tips with some sprinkled humor. My Lily is looking good besides the brown tips.
@@SheffieldMadePlants yes and I thought it was actually crazy never had a plant be so in tune with the emotions of a household. And absolutely would throw a fit if put in a corner. Like an actually child it is
The flowers are nice. But I like the foliage too. I have a 6 year old Lily, and 2 that are 2 years old. Well those 2 are twins. Cut from the same plant.
04:35 That moisture meter is one of the worst meters on the market, i bought 10 of them and 7 were broken. The 3 that did work all gave different readings at the same spots 🤷♂
My peace lily goes through temper tantrums like a toddler... it'll go from pushing out 10+ blooms and overexerting itself and getting yellowing leaves as a result. It's my problem child about half the time :P
Grow them out of a small fish tank ..just dangle the roots in the water, they clean the tank and never need watering or feeding ✌️ :ps, “stress coat” and “water conditioner/tap safe” are not the same product ..but I’m pretty sure they both contain sodium anyway so probably not the best for house plants long term
10.48am I repotted my Peace Lily 6 weeks ago. It was in a small pot for about 10 years. I decided to repot it in a much larger pot as it was really root bound. Now it looks so sad & really droopy. What have I done wrong.??
I've head in previous videos, that our Peace Lily friends, (while being a bit needy) are also not a fan of Cold Water.. is this true to say? otherwise thank your for the video, I am a new Peace Lily Parent and I am doing the best I can with my needy baby, 😅
My peace lily population expanded recently with the addition of the plants my DIL consigned to the garden because she can't keep plants alive. I've realised recently that I've been overfeeding the lilies, it does amazing things for foliage but when it comes to repotting, seems to wreck the root growth.
I've got an oddball problem that wasn't covered here. My Spathes (well, the cylindrical growths at the end of the stems) develop but turn dark brown nearly right away. The leaf that surrounds it stays dark green. Is this simply a case of wrong lighting?
HELP! I’ve had my Peace Lily for about a month and it was looking great for about a week. The last 2 weeks I cannot get it to stop drooping. I’ve watered it, put it decent light, took off it trousers and the roots look fine. It’s still drooping and I’m so confused why
I hate my peace lily. its the most dramatic plant ive ever had and it stresses me, this hobby is supposed to be relaxing but yea, I cant even look at it for 30 seconds before it faints....
Haha me too! I am hooked ! Couldn’t stop laughing it was so funny - great tips thanks for the video ! Love your British accent ! I recently reported my beautiful vibrant blooming peace lily to bigger pot used a tropical indoor potting mix and also half cactus muc potting soil half - it started. Off well but now it’s F dripping with dry leaves brown n sad looking! Will it survive ? Omg god please don’t die I will sing for you daily darling peace lily ! Help please! What is best soil to use ?😊 what did I do wrong ? Humidity is not much I guess with AC room in Florida - about 50% humidity ! Help
