Hi,

I have a huge peace lilly that I received from my aunts funeral. I am in tears because I do not know what to do. This plant was given to me because the family thought that of all of us that I would be the one who could take care of it. It was big, green, with 5 blooms and very beautiful just two weeks ago. I have never had an indoor plant. I did not even know the name of this plant until it started to die. I searched everywhere online to find out. I thought I was taking great care of it. I watered it every other day. When it became "droopy" I thougt all it needed was sunlight. So, I put it outside where it could get the best sunlight :-( The kids were also "very helpful" because they too watered it. Finally I brought it in and when I came home from work the picture below is all I had left. I realize now everything I did was wrong.

I know there is hope because only a few leaves were brown (I clipped them) There is a bloom hanging on for dear life. The leaves are still green just soft like cotton. I have repotted it (not sure if I did that right), it is sitting in the sink now, I watered it with the "sink sprinkler" Please help I am afraid if this doenst work it will die. I can not let that happen. I am so depserate if there was an ER for plants I would take it there.
