Peace Lily brown patches on flowers

[Bellabells]

Hi everyone. My peace lilly has formed brown on its flowers also. I am also wondering how to cut the flower off properly if it is at it's life end. Also, I put pebbles on top of soil to keep moisture from evaporating and cause it looks nice. Was this ok or will it hinder new growth. Same with my parlor palms (picture 4). Will this hinder growth? And does anyone know what plant is pic 5 and why it won't flower? Last flower was March 2017 and was red and waxy looking.

Thanks Becky. I've just recently found a new interest in this fabulous hobby and love my garden. Any chance you could shed some light on my questions?

A peace lily thrives in low light/shade. I'm wondering if your one is getting too much light and the browning is because of it? Or, too much moisture (in which case, only water when the compost is beginning to dry out)
If you wish to cut the flower off, cut it off close to the soil (it is on a long stem).
The pebbles will not hinder new growth.


No idea on picture 5, sorry.

Thanks so much for the advice. It's just 3 of the more mature flowers at this stage. It's in a filtered light room. One flower is a bit green. If more begin browning I'll move to a darker area. Thanks again.

Hello! I am new to the site and as i was looking around, I noticed you did not have a reply to your question about what the last plant is... Could the plant in picture #5 be an anthurium?
