I am watering my mom's plants while she is on vacation, I went in the other day and the house was freezing, my mom has had this peace lily for as long as I can remember and the leaves I think froze, Do I take all the dead ones? On some of the brown leave the stems are still really green. There are still a lot of live leaves... Help please I don't want her to come home with a plant looking like this. I moved it to my house so it is warmer and I can give it more attention.
Was the plant left outside? The foliage is definitely showing cold damage and may continue to show more over the next week or so but I wouldn't give up on it just yet. I don't know if it will hurt to remove the damaged leaves and I see some green stems peeking through so I think the plant has a good chance of survival. The Spathiphyllum doesn't like temperatures below @ 60ºF but if it was just in the cold for a short time and the roots weren't frozen it might be okay. I'd keep it in a warm location and water with room temperature water.
