A single watering with ice-cold tap water sent a healthy peace lily into complete collapse within hours—not from neglect, but from thermal shock that shut down the plant’s entire root system. The culprit? A temperature gap of just 20-30 degrees that disrupts cellular function before you even notice wilting.
