    Hello
    I have a Japanese Peace Lily which rarely flowers. In addition, the larger leaves will often slowly turn brown. I have replanted it to ensure it is not root bound but this doesn't seem to have helped.
    Can you tell me why my leaves are turning brown and how I can correct this?
    thanks

    what type of soil is it in? does the container have drainage holes? how frequently are you watering and do you use water straight from the tap? have you used any fertilizer? if yes, how often and how strong? what kind of lighting does it get?

    If this is a spathiphyllum these are sensitive to low humidity and prone to drying out between the rather frequent wateringsm relative to many other common house plants that these require. Plants not being well grown will not flower well.
