You need to be careful with this one since waiting till the leaves are fully wilted may kill it. After that, resume the normal watering routine for the plant. The other option is to transfer the plant to another pot with new and unfertilized soil. This may require a few days for the lily to recover but it eventually does recover. Most peace lilies come with enough fertilizer for several months. The water will evaporate and provide the needed humidity. The other method, which should be combined with the first one for the best results, is avoiding heavy draught around the plant.
This means keeping it in a location without direct winds, heat vents or fans as these blow away the most air around the plant. Keep the plant within sunlight but not directly. That means keeping it close to a window facing either north or south and not in the dark. Any pests and diseases on the plant will need to be eliminated at all costs. These are easy solutions which require little expertise.
For pesticides and other chemicals, always consult with the person who sold you the plant before using them. You can cut the leaf with brown sections from the peace lily. This requires following the leaf all the way to the base of the stem then cutting it off. For the leaves with very little brown sections, simply trim off the brown sections. Use only sterilized equipment for these exercises. Indoor plants tend to drop the excessive leaves to acclimatize to the new conditions.

You can buy a saucer to put under the pot to collect water running through the drainage holes.
Dump out the saucer as needed so that the plant does not sit in water. Fertilizing too often or with too strong a concentration of fertilizer can cause a buildup of excess salt in the growing medium. This can result in leaves with brown edges as you are observing in your plant.
The damage can be made worse when the plants are allowed to dry out. Use a general house plant fertilizer at one-half or one-quarter of the recommended strength once a month during the spring and summer growing season. You do not need to fertilize the peace lily in the winter and can reduce watering a little because the plant is not growing as vigorously. Water the plant thoroughly each time so that water comes out the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot.
This will prevent the buildup of excess salt in the growing medium. When a plant is in a pot without a drainage hole, salts may build up in the growing medium. Once repotted, it is a good idea to thoroughly flush the pot with clear water. Repeat the flushing process about an hour later to remove additional salts that will have dissolved.
You could also repot it into fresh growing medium and avoid fertilizing for a month or so. Some other things that can cause problems with a peace lily — but are unlikely in your situation at this time of year — would be cold injury caused by drafts or temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
The peace lily makes a great houseplant because it thrives in the typical indoor temperature range of 65 to 80 degrees. Keep the peace lily away from noninsulated windows and doors this winter because cold drafts will harm it.
Watering from below prevents your peace lily stems and foliage from getting wet and developing black spots. However, this promotes accumulation of salts in the soil. The accumulated salts dissolved solids in tap water and fertilizer solutions make it difficult for your peace lilies to absorb water and nutrients — thus causing the tips to turn brown or black.
The best way to water your potted peace lilies is from the top. First allow the soil to dry down so the plant is nearly at the wilting point. Then using a watering can , water just enough to wet the soil, but not exiting the drain holes. By doing this, you flush off the accumulated salts from the soil thus maintaining healthy roots and foliage.
Pro Tip: Peace lily leaves also enjoy a good misting, which you can do when you water throughout the summer. Making it a good choice for a bathroom plant. Feeding is needed but you have to remember that fertilizer isn't really plant food. It just supplies some of the building blocks plants use to make their own food and to keep their systems orderly.
Additionally, high fertility levels inhibit plants water uptake. This is the reason why feeding your peace lilies during winter is discouraged. The plant needs to move water to keep foliage hydrated. However, if you really have to feed your peace lilies then it is advisable to use half dose of a liquid indoor feed like Miracle-Gro or a sea weed liquid feed. Pro Tip: Make sure to water your peace lilies after feeding to distribute the fertilizer evenly around the roots. Peace lilies love free- draining soil.
The choice of the soil you use for your plants becomes by far the most important thing. A free draining soil allows you to flush regularly without concern for salt build-up from fertilizers and tap water. How then do you improve soil drainage for healthy peace lilies? Soil drainage can be explained as either water not flowing through the soil causing stagnation or when the soil cannot hold enough water due to excessive water flow with losses.
To solve this, add plenty of compost Organic or ready - made to the soil to minimize the spaces between the soil particles. In this case the added compost helps in breaking the compactness of the fine textured soil particles thus improving water flow.
Other ways of improving drainage include; adding a course material such as sand or gravel to improve soil texture, choosing the right type of container, using a soilless potting mix. Peace lilies prefer bright indirect light. They can tolerate partial shade and fluorescent lights. Avoid exposing your peace lilies to direct sunlight as this might lead to scorching of the leaves. Place the peace lily close to, but not directly under a window in a warm room inside where it will benefit from indirect sunlight.
Preferably North or West facing windows are best as these do not allow direct sunlight throughout the day.
