Where should I place a peace lily in my house?
Peace lilies prefer indirect light and shade, so they’re perfect for indoor gardens. They’ve even been found to thrive in workplaces with no windows and fluorescent lighting! The finest windows for peace lilies are those that face south or west and provide the perfect amount of light. If it gets too much light, your peace lily will notify you: Yellow leaves suggest that there is too much light, while brown streaks show that the leaves have been scorched by direct sunshine. If your peace lily’s leaves show these indicators, it’s time to move it.

Its botanical name, also known as white anthurium or white sails, means “leaf spathe” in Greek, referring to the white spathe, or modified leaf, that makes up part of its blossom.

Should I cut damaged leaves off peace lily?
I recommend removing the damaged leaves so that the plant may concentrate all of its energy on generating new foliage. Follow the leaf stem to the plant’s base and cut it off to remove the leaves.

To help it overcome the loss of leaves, you can feed it a very little fertilizer solution or vitamin B1. Best of luck, and please keep me updated.
