This plant enjoys a change of soil each spring, a routine to adopt until it matures. Mature plants simply benefit from a top layer soil refresh, about 4 cm deep. Consider enriching the soil with special fertilizer for green plants during spring. Also, ensure proper drainage when repotting to avoid water stagnation.
2. Foliage Focus:
Peace lilies, being tropical natives, have an affinity for moisture. A neglected plant might droop, but a generous watering will perk it right back up. If your peace lily faces prolonged water deprivation and appears desiccated, immerse its pot in a water-filled tray for a few hours for revival. Regularly prune wilted or dead leaves to keep the plant healthy.

Heat a glass of water (without boiling) and dissolve a spoonful of gelatin in it.
