Good evening Friend .. Happy Valentines Day.. just wanted to say.. You're definitely not alone on this journey.. I most certainly go through this same.. but I can say im getting better at it, meaning keeping more losing less.. what works for me.. my sound silly but along with my humidifier in the livingroom I also put my teapot or a pot on low and let the humidity builds up along with my humidifier. I notice they love that extra level of humidity in the air. My heat is very dry, plus I live in a apartment.. also with the humidifiers I've learned that they should be at lease 4 to 6 ft away from the rare Anthuriums because of the dropplets of minerals in the water falls on the leaves and if you don't have air circulating to move the flow of the humidity will cause the leaves to fail by turning yellow, brown, soft and mushy and Spots... today I received a box of 6 from Ecuagenera Florida, 2 things I will do .. 1. I will call them 2 minutes after placing my order and ask them, please not to send me plants that I have to rehab and 2. I always do .. UPS next day early .. all of my plants today came perfect and in good health... pray that they stay that way... I'm learning.. Have a Blessed evening Friend

Hi Linda and good evening. Thank you for the advice. I am definitely taking note and sure that it can help others as well. I did have them in a room with a humidifier that averaged about 80% during that time. I have Humidifier in most of my main rooms as well as a whole house humifier. I also keep my new/recent in a portable greenhouse with fans.I have realized that some plants will just drop leaves during the acclimation process, but once they adjust, they grow back able to thrive in my environment. So when you order from Equagenera, is that from their Ecuador site or the US one? If the former, I had no idea that you can choose from the one coming directly out of the country? Will have to keep that in mind if that is the case.

Hi Goldean, I would need a little more information before I could provide recommendations for your peace lilly. It sounds like you have removed it from its original potting medium and are now rehabbing it in water. Is there a reason why you are doing that? How much light does it currently get? When it was in soil, what was your water/fertilizing routine? Generally speaking, peace lillys like to stay moist but not wet. They will definitely let you know if they need water, but basically, you should water once you see the leaves begin to go limp. Even if they go fully limp, usually water will get them to snap back. As far as your potting medium it should be airy/chunky but with them you want to have a mix that is more moisture retentive than your standard aroid mix. This is so you don't have to water as often. If you have pictures of your plant you can dm me on instagram with a responses to the questions above and I can suggestions of what may help your plant.

Hey, we all start somewhere. I went through a few peace lillies when I first started and still have plants that I had to rebuy because of a plant fail. Start with the basics. When you repot them make sure your soil has aeration. Typically, that means mixing soil with something like perilite or orchid bark. To make sure it retains moisture, 2/3 of it should be soil and the rest perilite or orchid bark. You could add other aggregates like vermiculite but to keep it simple use perilite at this point. As far as lighting is concerned peace lillies will tolerat low light but they thrive in medium to bright indirect light for about 6 to 8 hours minimum per day. That would translate into keeping them about 3 to 5 feet from an east facing. If you don't have that having them in a well lit room or a grow light will help. If you don't already do so you should fertilize them at least every two weeks with a balanced fertilized with micronutrients. I would also throw in a cal-mag supplement and Mycorrizal fungi. Lastly, don't stress. you got this.

Yeah that was disappointing but I had a feeing thay I would need to rehab when the leaves were still limp after the the rehydration. I have seen the zip lock trick and will give it a try. Refresh my memory do you keep it full encased or mostly enclosed with an opening for air? I will not be denied though. At some point I will get a Squamicaule to survive lol. It took a couple of tries with my serpens, but she is finally doing well (knock on wood). Thanks for watching and the tips!

Honestly, I treat it like a Anthurium or alocasia. I keep it close to a humidifier and don't let it dry out past 3 or 4 on the moisture meter. That usually translates to watering at least twiceI think it will be easier once it warms up, and the ambient humidity increases overall.
