i received a peace lily and have had it for about two weeks. everything was going well, but the flowers just turned black on it. the leaves are looking great still. i repotted it yesterday. it still looks good, i just don't know about the flowers. this could be normal, but i have never seen a peace lily where the flowers weren't still white. what should i do?

Peace Lilies are quite hardy plants. My sister isn't all that great with house plants, mostly because she forgets to water them sometimes, but she's had one for over 2 years now and it's doing great. In fact, she just repotted it and split it's roots so now she has 2 of them. The flowers come and go and sometimes the leaves die off so you just pull them out or cut them off and more will come back. Enjoy your plant!

thanks for your help ladies. my peace i cut back the flowers on my peace lily and it it doing great. i can't even begin to tell you what a black thumb i have so i am extremely excited that the peace lily survived me repotting it and cutting back the flowers! i received the peace lily, a mum, and two other houseplants from my granny's funeral, so i really wanted them to make it. i am so glad that they are all still alive and doing well ( i repotted all of them)

The flowers won't last .. I'm surprised they've already left you though.. but the leaves will just keep coming back.. & you'll get new 'flowers' now & then too.. I have three of them now.. one i received for my 25th wedding anniversary from my Mother.. & We just celebrated our 30th in April.. So that Girl's been with me quite awhile.. even put her through a move.. & transplanted her a few time.. We're in Florida.. So i actually have mine outside in the ground.. They even survive our mild frost's here! Must be a pretty hearty plant!
Yours will be fine.. just needs to settle in..
Good luck with it Amy!!

I'd remove the flowers that have faded, you can plant it in a larger pot.
