U know anything about Peace Lilies

[Cammy]

Does any one know anything about peace lilies? The leaves on mine are turning brown and some of the stems are yellow. It has not bloomed for atleast 3 years. I have added fertilized soil, but not repotted. I have added indoor miracle grow sticks. Seems to be doing better but still have brown leaves. Help?

Overfertilization can cause brown leaves in peace lillies.

Does it ever get below 60 degrees where you have them?

Where there's yellowing are the veins still green? They could need more magnesium.

The yellow is mainly in the leaves. Not as much yellow as brown. No, they are kept indoors all the time, all year round and near a window. I have more than one plant in each pot; does that make a difference? Also, do you know why they are not blooming? They were so beautiful when I first got them in 2000. Thank you in advance for the help!

Lack of flowering usually occurs on plants that are less than a year old or that receive insufficient light. Since you've had yours for 4 years, that eliminates one of the potential reasons. How much light do they get? But careful--they're sensitive and susceptible to sunburning.

They have been at a north window for about a year and the window is not blocked 95% of the time (the blinds are pulled up b/c the cat likes to look out the window).

Then I'm stumped. I used to be more up on sunlight plants, but my yard now gets little direct sun. These days, I'm more of an expect on shade and deer-resistant plants.

Does the window have film or tinting built in? You probably should repot the plants in a larger container - the roots need more room.

don't overwater. yellowing of leaves is often a sign of this.

my peace lillies bloom better when they get diffused light. i keep them near a window, but they dont' get any (or very little) direct sunlight.

No. Should I not put them in direct sunlight? They are really not in direct sunlight b/c it is the north window. I am now bottom water feeding them and not pouring it into the pot. I think that I will repot them in a bigger pot. I am thinking that I have too many plants in on pot; should I split them up? Or, would it be better to keep them together?
