So we have a peace Lilly that’s over 20 years old. 2 years ago it was repotted and nearly died (I think because we put way to much fertilizer to a plant that just got repotted for the first time in 20 years).
It was just getting better when we started to see weird things with the leaves:
* Lots of little spots of discoloration (I can’t seem to find what kind of problem/pest/illness causes this type of discoloration) * There’s weird bumps along the main vein (pests?)New leaves are distorted, already discoloured * More old leave are yellowing and browning (more than what’s normal I feel). You can’t really see that in the picture of the full plant because we just gave it a refresh by cutting the damaged leaves before I thought to ask for help here.
Here’s what I’ve been thinking about without coming up with a satisfactory answer:
* I don’t think it’s overwatering, in fact underwatering is more likely in our case because my mother tend to water only when there’s sign that the plant is thirsty (droopy leaves)/when she thinks about it. But I may very well be wrong about that * The soil is only 2 years old but maybe if it’s already too dense it can causes this kind of problems? * Not enough fertilizer? * Too much of something in the soil?
I’ll take any suggestion because I’m at lost here and I don’t feel like the situation is getting any better with time…
