Droopy peace lily

Hello, I bought my peace lily approx 7 months ago and placed it in my enclosed  porch. Earlier this week I noticed the leaves were drooping so I gave it some water. Today I noticed it was still drooping so I placed in the hallway thinking maybe the porch area was too cold but the leaves drooped even more. Any advice on what the issue may be or what I should do.

    Find it a nice warm, bright place. The cold has probably upset it but they normally recover well.

    Oh jings, we have exactly the same problem - and we live (a lot of the time) in Brazil. It is not cold. It is overwatering. They are most prone to this in UK in winter.

    I can't offer you a cure, because once they get in this state they rarely recover, except the following. The trick seems to be keep them very dry. Only water when you think they are absolutely gasping. Unfortunately the symptoms of under- and overwatering are very similar, drooping leaves. Another thing you can do is push you finger deep into the compost. If it is wet it is over. Good luck!
