Peace Lily Flower Turning Brown: 8 Reasons + Solutions

Peace Lily flowers only live about 30 days, with the white bloom lasting only around 10 days . Your Peace Lily flower turning brown could be a normal occurrence  because it might be a sign that your flower has reached the end of its  lifespan, causing the flower to wilt and turn brown. If you find your Peace Lily flower is turning brown before the flower’s  lifespan has reached its normal end you probably want to know why and  look for appropriate solution.
