A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum dying peace lily

Hi. This is my first post and I am reposting it here as well as originally in the new member forum. I have a peace lily from my mothers funeral that I replanted. After I replanted it in a larger pot and miracle-grow soil, I noticed a lot of nats. My husband banned all my plants to the back porch. We live in Ky. This has been the hottest summer and we set a record of # of days above 90 degrees. Anyway, the plants were doing well. I brought them back in a few weeks ago, set them on the table for the night and the next morning, the table was covered in ants. Back out they went. Along with ant spray. Ants are gone, and I brought most of them back in. Now, this peace lily is 1/8 green 7/8 brown and VERY droopy. I have watered it, took it back outside, brought it back inside, and watered it some more. Is there anything else I can do? I really don't want to lose this plant. It's a reminder of my mom who we miss dearly. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you and God Bless.

Hi, welcome to the forum.
When you repotted how much larger of a pot did you use? Peace lillies like to be crowded and actually thrive in a tight pot. Though they like light indirect sunlight is best. To much dirct light will bake them. When watering they soil should be soaked but not saturated. You don't want then water running through, and only water when the soil is dry to the touch. I hope you plant makes it it through.
