Peace Lily will flourish in almost any well-drained potting mix. Soil should be kept moist but not soggy. The soil should dry out between waterings. Excessive drying out can cause the plant to wilt and the leaves and edges to yellow. When watering, use water that is at room temperature.
Peace lily will survive low interior light but would prefer bright filtered light. Peace lily should not be placed in direct sun or it will sunburn.
These plants need very little fertilizer. If you fertilize, use a balanced, liquid houseplant fertilizer such as 20-20-20 every two to three months.
Peace lilies enjoy warm conditions between 68 and 85 ° F during the day and nighttime temperatures about 10 ° F cooler.
Peace lilies have wide leaves that accumulate dust. Wipe leaves regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust.

Your plant might be suffering from root rot. Too much water can be just as bad as not enough, water once every week or once every two weeks. Try giving your plant some natural sunlight. Make sure the plant gets some air movement over the surface of its foliage.

Too much water...but friend's answer is the bomb!
hurry re-pot in some new dry potting mix to counteract the over-watering and put it somewhere sunnier.

might need iron or potassium. i would get a house plant fertilizer and use it according to the box. or even plant spikes if they have them still. as long as you are watering it that should help it out

It may also need to be repotted, depending on how long you've had it. I had similar symptoms on mine and once I repotted it into a larger pot, it did fine.
One book I read said to repot them every two or three years.

put it in light sun outside, fresh air will do good. and water it about one or 2 times a day
depending on how much sun you actully do give it.
also maybe try repoting it with fresh soil.
~good luck

Duh! Your watering it TOO MUCH! Black roots = root rot wich is caused by too much watering. I have a Desert Rose, and it does the same thing, yellow leaves, black roots, when I water it too much.
