I think the problem might be in the transplanting. Why did you transplant it? When you buy/ get a Peace Lily (Spathephyllum) you should wait a good year to transplant it. There should be roots obviously coming out of the bottom of the pot. You should only transplant it into the NEXT larger size pot. So if you start off in a 6" pot, move to an 8" pot... if you move it to a much larger size pot, you run the chance of drowning the plant. When you transplant, the plant should be put into the new pot at the same level it was at in the previous pot. You should be able to see, without moving any soil, the old root ball at the surface. If you plant it too deeply (even 1/2 an inch) you can smother your plant to death. Planting too deeply may cause a plant to wilt.



Peace Lily is the same plant they used in those "beta bowls", where the roots floated exposed in water. So it is difficult to over water the plant - but not impossible.



Generally the maintenance is easy, low to medium light, temps no lower than 55 degrees. Keep it moist at all times. Chlorine in the water may cause the tips to turn brown. Leave your water out overnight, and alot of the chlorine in the water will evaporate. Even better, use rain water. Don't use distilled or bottled water, there aren't any nutrients in it. Fertilize lightly, as directed by the product you are using. (Try Schultz or Jacks).



I hope that this helps

Good luck-

Reply:Peace lilies need damp air and don't usually suffer from overwatering problems.

Surround the pot with damp peat or stand the pot on some gravel kept damp, spray the leaves with fresh water every few days. Don't keep it in full sun and don't 'overpot', they flower better if they are a bit pot bound.
Reply:Temperature: Maintain temperatures above 55 degrees F



Light: Low to bright light levels. Protect from direct sunlight



Watering: Water thoroughly then allow to dry out between watering. Generally once a week is sufficient depending on how much light it receives. A good indicator is the leaves will begin to wilt.



Fertilize: Fertilize monthly from spring to fall. Use general purpose houseplant fertilizer.



Maintenance: Cut out flowers as they fade and clean the leaves regularly.



This will keep your plant blooming Good Luck!
