Peace lily wilted: how to save it? Find the cause and remedy it in time

Flowers & Gardening 0 views
There are four reasons why a peace lily wilts. First, improper lighting, so keep suitable light and shade it appropriately in summer. Second, humidity is too low, so spray and sprinkle water to raise humidity. Third, the fertilizer is too strong or raw fertilizer was used, so adjust it in time and water with clear water after fertilizing. Finally, the temperature is unsuitable, so adjust it to 12-25°C.

1. Provide suitable light

(1) Specific cause: If an indoor peace lily is suddenly taken outdoors and exposed to very strong light for a relatively long time, its leaves may wilt.

(2) Solution: Immediately move it to a shaded place, and it may recover quickly. In subsequent care, provide suitable light in spring, autumn and winter. In summer, shade it appropriately.

2. Increase humidity

(1) Specific cause: The growth of a peace lily requires relatively high humidity. If the humidity is too low and the air is too dry, the leaves may also wilt.

(2) Solution: Take measures to raise the humidity in the air, such as spraying water and sprinkling water. In addition, you can also cover the plant with a plastic bag to maintain humidity. However, with this method, you need to let it breathe often.

3. Adjust the type or concentration of fertilizer

(1) Specific cause: If the fertilizer is too strong, or raw fertilizer is used, fertilizer burn is likely to occur, causing the leaves of the peace lily to wilt.

(2) Solution: Be sure to use decomposed fertilizer. Do not make the concentration too high; apply dilute fertilizer. In addition, after fertilizing, it is best to water once with clear water.

4. Adjust the temperature

(1) Specific cause: Neither too high nor too low a temperature will do. Specifically, when it is above 35°C or below 5°C, the leaves of the peace lily may wilt.

Solution: Adjust the temperature so that it is within a suitable range, with 15 to 25°C being appropriate.
