Peace lily

My peace lily was gorgeous and thriving but I thought it needed a bigger pot. Ever since I repotted it (I put it in one of those self watering draining pots), it started to look a bit shriveled and now it's like this 😕 Is there any hope? Should I cut the leaves and let new ones grow or do you think it'll recover as it is? Thank you!!

That looks like it just needs a good water, peace lilies are very dramatic when they are too dry!

Peace Lillies are my favourite plant because they tell you when they are thirsty. And that one is definitely telling you. A good water and she should be fine.

My peace lillies always preferred rain water so I keep a bucket outside to catch rainwater for them, or sometimes I just stick the whole plant outside for a while when its raining.

As others have said it just needs a good drenching

There’s always hope with peace lilies. I frosted one by leaving it in the porch during that cold snap. All the leaves went brown and fell off, and the growing tip went brown. It spent 3months looking dead. But now after 5 months it has a tiny leaf the size of a 1p

It’s always sensible to water after transplanting. The roots will have been damaged, so an extra bit of water they don’t have to fight for gets them through the first day

Fill up a bowl of water (rainwater if you have it), add a few drops of baby bio, plunge pot in bowl, leave for about 30mins, it will come back to life by the end of the day.

I wouldn’t feed it. It’s been transplanted, so plenty of nutrients in the new compost, and what it really needs is water.
