I appreciate any advice, this plant is about two years old. I’ve never repotted it because the last time I repotted a plant it died so the soil is still the same.
I also was watering this one pretty consistently, but then I felt like I overwatered it because the leafs were droopy and started to look like this and have sense only watered it a little bit, nothing’s changed in the leafs are now turning yellow.
It’s been getting sun as well.

Do you have a cat?
That is a peace lily and they’re known to get dramatic like this when they’re very thirsty
Poke the dirt with your finger. Is it dry? I bet it feels super dry. If so, put the pot into a sink or bucket, fill it partway up the side of the pot with water, and wait 20 mins to an hour. Then let it fully drain. It’ll spring back.
Here are some example photos of my peace lily at a [moderate flop](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/567495d7c7f6.jpg) and a couple hours [after being watered](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/bfcd5ed815d1.jpg). They really do spring right back!
Edit: if you have a cat it is also possible it curled up in the middle of the plant and pressed it flat, but peace lilies can also pull off this look feline-free.
This plant is dying of thirst. It needs to be throughly watered and left to soak for a bit to fully hydrate the soil.
oh I’ve seen worse.. it comes tight back to life!
Water
Water it thoroughly. I like to put them in a pan of water so they drink for themselves through the drainage holes.
Peace lilies are drama queens.
Peace lilies are drama queens. Touch the soil. If it’s dry it wants water (most likely) and they drink a lot. If it’s soggy then it’s sitting in water and you just want to drain that excess off. But it’ll be fine either way, it’s just having a tantrum.
