A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum question from the new one

hi

I have a peace lilly and its flowers have gone green and 1 has gone brown what am i doing wrong or should this happen.

badger; i am sorry to say I do not know---but welcome to the forum--I am certain someone will be along soon to help you---

From what I've read here from other people, green means they have been fertilized and will set seed. Brown probably means the flower is aging (they don't last forever) or, if it was fertilized, it's now growing the seeds. I don't know if you should dead-head them or not. Do you want seeds?

yep. whenever they turn brown, theyre gonna shrivel! cut 'em off and more will grow eventually.

yep. mrs. bradley has it. they go green first, then shrivel and brown and crisp up. i usually try to cut mine when the green gets really deep.
