The flowers only last a month or so, two at the outside. If it happened quicker than that, it%26#039;s either a watering or feeding problem. Peace Lilies are water lovers and like heavy feeding. If they dry out, they don%26#039;t flower well.
Reply:My mom and I both have one too. Her%26#039;s does the same as yours. She tells me that it is %26quot;reseeding%26quot;. Mine however has turned from white to green and has been this way for 2 months. It hasn%26#039;t turned brown. I have mine in potting soil and infront of a window that gets partial sun. I only water it when the dirt is just starting to dry. :)
Reply:I have several peace lilies, and this is normal. As soon as they start to turn you should cut it off at the base. Any part of a plant that starts to turn brown should always be cut--this lets the nutrients be used by the rest of the plant and not wasted on dead/dying foilage.
Reply:Flowers do that! I don%26#039;t know of a flower in the world that does not die after it has bloomed. Don%26#039;t worry, you%26#039;ll get more.
Reply:No flower lasts forever. But luckily, a happy peace lilly should bloom a few times a year.
