Salam,
I had a very large peace lily plant with great big green leaves, and it hasn't flowered in almost a whole year now. A few months ago, I thought to split the plant in half and make two plants out of one. I did so, successfully, and bought nice looking indoor pots to put them in. Since then, the leaves have been getting brown and crunchy. They're not dying off or anything, just looking like someone put a match to the edges. New leaves come in nice and green, then turn brown at the tips later on.
Well, I did a search on this and learned that peace lily's like to be slightly root bound! I figured that when I separted the large plant into two smaller ones that the new pots were way too big for the roots. So this weekend I put the two smaller plants into smaller pots in an effort to make the roots nice and cozy.
I'll report back in a few weeks with an update. I'm hoping the leaves will stay healthy and that I'll get some nice white flowers out of them!
Here's a picture of a plant.
