What am I doing wrong that the white flower parts of my peace lily turn green? Do I need to re-pot the plant and change the soil?
Peace lily creates green flowers?
It is very normal for a peace lily flower to eventually turn green. A seed pod forms during this process. It has nothing to do with too much light or too little light. Hydrangea flowers can do the same thing.
When the flowers turn green on a peace lily, they should be cut off to promote new flower bud growth.
Reply:What is happening with the Peace Lily is it is getting too much light. All parts of plants will produce chlorophyll for photosynthesis if the light hits it. This is what happens to potatoes if they grow too close to the surface and the light hits them. They start turning green. If cauliflower wasn't blanched the head would be green instead of white. Keep it out of the sun when it flowers and you should be all set
