It almost looks as if the leaves are burnt. Really dry and brittle even though I water it.

Peace lilies are swamp plants, they need plenty of water, more than most plants. they are also shade plants. NO DIRECT SUNLIGHT but bright indirect light. fertilize only lightly. over fertilizing can burn the leaves.

First of all stick the pot with the lily in into a bowl of water. Within 24 hours, anything that will come back green will have done so. Now you need to cut off all the dried brown bits as close to the soil as you can. Hopefully new growth should now begin over the next few week and you should see some new leaves appearing. To avoid drying out again, you need to stand the pot with the lily in in a saucer full of grit or pebbles. Keep the pebbles moist and it should keep the lily watered and prevent it drying out again.

I have been told that the peace Lilly does not like direct sunlight, that this is what makes the leaves turn brown on the edges. So don't let it get any direct sunlight.

How often do you water it? How much sun does it get? Make sure it gets enough sunlight, but not too much. Sometimes the leaves of an indoor plant get dusty and don't get enough light in. Try wiping the leaves off with a damp paper towel.

You don't need to do anything for it, cuz it has bloomed once already... all you got to do is that dig it up and cut the stem about 3 fingers length above the head and wash it and dry it and put them into the drawer of your fridge until the end of winter. Then replant it to the place where you would like to do... Or simplely cut the stem as I told you and till next spring they will come back again

You could be watering it too much.Just keep it moist.Also sun has a lot to do with it.Direct sun can burn the leaves and flowers.Move it so it does not get full sun.Hope it helps.
