Hi. I'm hoping someone can advise me.. I have a houseplant ( peace lilly I think) that I inherited from the previous owner of our house. I have had it for about 2 years now, it has never bloomed. The little leaves of the new growth turn black- starting at the very tip of the leaves and spreading in towards the stem. It starts off making the leaves wilted and soft, but then they dry out and get crispy. I thought it was an overwatering problem at first, but I feel I've been pretty careful about that for a while now and it is still happening. I'd love any ideas on what is wrong. Thank you!
