Title: Miss C's horticultural surgery
Post by: Miss Demeanour on July 10, 2011, 07:05:46 PM

Dear Miss C ,

I have a Peace Lilly houseplant thing that was given to me by my friend's mum after my mum died. It has survived until now ( I am not good with plants  redface: ) but now seems to be wilting and fading  sad24:

What can I do to save it ?

Your worldly wisdom would be greatly appreciated  cloud9:

Serious mode for a moment.

I don't know where you keep it but try keeping it in your bathroom for a while they like steamy environs, try misting it's leaves and/or giving it a foliar feed. Trim back any dead/dying flowers and leaves. Check for bugs and parasites.  Sounds like standard NoW stuff really.
