Peace Lily Leaves
Normally, peace lily leaves are long and dark green, emerging directly from the soil and growing up and out. The leaves are strong and oval shaped, narrowing to a point at the tip.

Peace Lily Problem

How to Care for Peace Lily in Water
Peace Lilies can grow in water as long as you provide some nutrients and replace the liquid regularly. Distilled water and hydroponic fertilizer work best. Change the water out every two weeks, scrubbing any algae out of the container. You should also monitor the pH and keep it between 5.8 and 6.5.
