I took a wild peace lily that i found in the road, and put it in a pot in my desk, but that same day, it started to look droopy. what can i do to help her?

@Nessy.

Any time you transplant a plant growing in soil (as opposed to transplanting one growing in a pot), you are going to cut roots and perhaps dehydrate that plant and its roots. Thus, most dug-up plants will show signs of this stress by drooping. You want to make sure your potting soil is well draining because you want to keep that soil slightly moist at all times for the first few weeks. Also be sure that the pot you have it in has nice, large drainage holes. Though you want to keep the potting soil moist, you don't want it soggy. Keep the plant in moderately bright light but shaded from direct sun.

Good luck.

Nessy, please take a moment to go to your profile and update it with your location. You can show your city/state or just your USDA zone. Knowing your location helps when plant-questions arise.

Are you sure you got the bulb?

I did not know the peace lilies had bulbs, Daisy. Live and learn, huh?

Maybe they are considered rhizomes. They appear to be monocots so there must be a bulb-y type thing down there somewhere.

I wonder about the depth of the bulb-y thing though. Most native bulbs bury themselves pretty deep.

I just don't know much of anything about peace lilies. I have a feeling that they would have rhizomes rather than bulbs. I don't know about depth. My white butterfly ginger spread via rhizomes and they are planted just below the soil's surface, only an inch depth will do fine for them.
