we got this Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) at Lowes last week. it looked good at the time of purchase but now it seems as it is going down hill fast. it is an 8" diameter plastic pot that has 4 drain holes. it has been watered once since it came to its new home. we initially placed it near a north facing window. it is now about 7 feet away against a wall. my suspicion is that it got sunburned. what should we do next: should the leaves be pruined (there are quite a few) or should we leave it alone? it had a flower that tuned brown rapidly.

thanks for the help!

edit: i just noticed that although this is a north facing window there is a large apartment building, with many windows, on the opposite side of the street, that is acting like a giant mirror casting direct sunlight through the window into this apartment. so, i am even more sure the lily got a sunburn. it is now in a place where it will not be exposed to this light.
