When I was going to college in Sonoma County, I bought a Peace
lily and a Rubber plant. Both plants were doing great there, and just before I moved I repotted the peace
lily and put it in a bigger pot, maybe too big. I then moved to Berkeley, and the Peace
lily has not been doing well at all.
Im not quite sure what it is, but there always seems to be something wrong. The room I rent has a window that lets in the sun in the afternoon, so I hide the
lily in the shadowy parts of the room. I water when the two-way meter I bought says the plant needs water, and I can tell when the pot is lighter than normal. I trim off dead leaves, and it hasn't flowered in about a year.
It's been in this large pot for around 8 months, but recently it started drooping its outer leaves and just looking sick. The inner leaves look great. Super green, healthy with no brown tips. I don't know what to do. I would like to have this plant when I am retired, and pass it on. Should I repot it one step down? Not worry about it, since it is cold in the bay area? Any help would be great. Here is a recent photo of the plant, I can get more if needed.
The rubber plant by the way is doing great, that thing is resilient. Oh, and the peace
lily might have those tiny little flies breeding in there. I see a few of them around the room.
