Peace Lily drooping
Drooping can mean dry soil, wet roots, heat, cold, or repotting shock. The same wilt has different meaning on different plants.
For peace lily, adjust the diagnosis around this plant profile: Peace lilies wilt dramatically, so the key is separating dry-soil droop from wet-soil root stress. Brown tips are common and should be read with watering and humidity.
