my peace lily hates me

[southeastastra]

what am i doing wrong? it's all droopy but i water it alot

[jeminthecity]

You're watering it too much...

[southeastastra]

really? this site says it needs heavy watering

[MaryMotherOfCheeses]

Do you let it dry out?

[wem]

John Lewis says it might be drooping if it's in a bright and warm position.

I'd be surprised if you are watering it too much, they really need a lot of water.

[southeastastra]

it's on a windowsill but one which only gets a tiny bit of sun in the morning. i let it dry out between watering and it was lovely last week and has a flower. today though it's just drooped alot.

maybe i should move it, had it years but it's never really grown much at all.

[MaryMotherOfCheeses]

I'd bin it. Can't stand sulky plants

[southeastastra]

it's tempting

When I lived in mt v light top floor flat my peacelily blooed all year round up to 12 flowers at a time.

Then we moved to out terrace with a gloomy downstairs and it sulked at refused to flower for 2 years, so I out it outseide and the frost killed it so it's been binned.

V sensitive to environments I think

12! wow mine only manages one or two a year. i'll try moving it one last time.

I only water mine when it starts to look limp and it's been fine.

My peace lily is such a drama queen.

One minute it's chipper and dandy. The next "Oh GOD darlings I'm DYING! It's the END for me. Don't weep. I am gone. Gawn. Gorrrn." Droopy leaves. Looks half dead. Then I give it a teacup of water and it perks up no end.

It amuses me.

[southeastastra]

maybe i should care for it like an old luvvy then duffy

[SoupDragon]

Care for it like a penis : when it's limp, a spot of TLC will perk it up no end and bring it back to firmness.
