That's a Peace Lily, @argtactical. I can understand its significance to you.

The leaves show signs that the root-ball dried out and thus the leaf-wilt. Though you want the potting soil to retain moisture, you also want to make sure the soil drains well. This plant does not like soggy soil but does like for its root-ball to have available moisture. There is a fine line between moist and wet. Keep that potting soil slightly moist, mist the leaves twice a day if you can, keep it in fairly bright light but not direct sun (though early morning sun is great), and keep it warm, above 60F. It should be fine.

If you grow this plant outside some/much of the time, it is important to know your location. Please take a moment to update your public profile so we know where you are.

Oh, Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
