I just bought a peace lily from a florost yesterday, and it looked perfectly healthy. Brought it home and started looking up how to propagate it to make a second plant because it looked a bit crowded. Well, I took it out of the pot and there was maybe a 1/4 of soil at the very top, but the roots looked like a package of ramen noodles. 😱 It took my a few hours to untangle them and repot it into two pots. They are such resilient plants!
@@MrHouseplantlove your channel by the way I just found it today and whilst watching it my colleagues gathered around me. Many “oh”s and “aaaahhhh!! Great idea!” Were heard. I didn’t want to ask any more questions by then though 😂
My plant definitely needs to be transported to a larger size pot. I received it at my mother's funeral in April and ruining it is not an option. What size pot is in this video?
@@charnfriday3837 same here. I got two from my Mom’s funeral last june. (Losing them is NOT an option… They have done GREAT still (original pots) However they have done soo good that I am changing them today b/c the LITERALLY HAVE NO ROOM. 🤞🏾 they do good in their new pots…
Ok quick one. Wish I had watched this one first; I’m absolutely terrible at gardening and I know it’s time to wise up now I’ve actually got a decent sized garden. Question being: do you toss the old soil since it’s goodness has been “used up” or is it important to keep some of the original soil? I can’t decide. Seems to me safe bet to keep in the og soil since it obviously worked for the plant: But has it now been “used up” by the plant and it needs fresh soil completely? Couldn’t see that in the video unless I’m being stupid which is highly likely ✌️
When I got my peace lily I repotted it bc it looked unhappy. After a few hours it started looking better. Maybe I over watered bc it started dropping again. So I removed all the soil and transferred it to water. Now it’s looking better again. When should I transfer it back to soil ? Or should I leave it in water for a few weeks first. I guess it needed more oxygen
I’ve repotted my peace lily today, as the pot I bought it in 2 months ago, has definitely outgrown it. It’s got a lot of white blossoms (can’t remember the name) but 1 stem from that has turned yellow and partially black on the flowering (for 1 only) and some of the leaves have black spots at the end. I have trimmed the tiny black/brown parts but the stem that is yellow I have left for now, although the blossoming of the white lily has darkened. I read advice to repot and leave in a shady area for 2 weeks… but your comments say to have 3000 Lumin lights etc… Any advice, I live in the United Kingdom (our summer is usually better than now) it’s currently 15°C up to 17°C later 59/63°F. Thank you.
Hi, can you please share the eaxct soil mix you are using? I used the Miracle gro indoor potting mix with a lot of perlite and bottom water my peace lily but it wilts too quickly even if the soil is still very wet. And we recently had the issue of root rot.
I had bought a peace lily that needed to be reported due to root bound. I repotted it and the plant started turning yellow dropping and so I cut away and looked at roots and it was root rotting. So I cut bad roots let it dry added some neem oil for the roots and let it dry over night and repotted it and now it’s dropping more then ever. I’m starting to hate peace lilies as much as they hate me.
Hi Kyristal, peace lilies get stressed from repotting, especially if you do a full repot (removal of all soil). I only recommend removal of all soil to more experienced plant parents. For less experienced, it's best to just loosen the rootbal and repot into a slightly larger pot. There are several things you can do to help a plant recover from repotting stress: 1) provide it as much light as possible. Ideally over 5,000 lux (500 foot candles) and more. Use a light meter to check the amount of light and move the plant to a brighter spot in your home 2) water only once the soil has reached a certain level of dryness. For succulents and cacti, let the soil dry out fully to the bottom of the pot before watering. For tropicals, let the top few inches or the top half of the soil dry out before watering. Use a chopstick to check the soil moisture. 3) You should aim for the soil to dry out in about a week or so. If it's staying wet longer, transfer it to a terracotta pot. Terracotta absorbs moisture from the soil and will help the soil dry out much faster :) Once a plant gets stressed from repotting, it can take some time for it to recover, so just be patient :)

Depends on how big the browning is. For smaller browning I recommend not worrying about it and cutting it off. If large parts of a lot of leaves are getting brown, they you need to look into the environment and care the plant is getting. A bit too long to explain here, as there could be multiple reasons for browning. But what you can do is do a full report (remove all old soil), repot in fresh soil, give the plant bright light (over 3,000 lux). and make sure your watering is good. Wait until the top half of the soil dries out before watering. Don't fertilize as it's getting nutrients from the new soil. :)
Hi, I don't use anything on the leaves, I just occasionally wipe them with a wet cloth to remove dust, this plant is just healthy and has naturally shiny leaves. 😊
Hi, yes. Repotting is crucial for plant health because the old, oxygen-deprived, compacted soil is removed in this process. If you don’t repot it once a year, gradually the soil will become compacted and deficient in nutrients, and the roots will not be getting enough oxygen. 😊
That is how my peace lily looked after my father's funeral. I must do this tomorrow. Thanks ❤❤
I got mine when my brother passed way from my company. Sorry for your loss.

I'm glad you managed to untangle the roots and repot your Peace Lily! Yes, they're quite sturdy. 😊
@@MrHouseplantwow a few hours?

Are you sure that if i remove the soil from the roots and wash it, the plant will not be harmed??

I had the same question about using some or none of the old soil.
Do you need to remove all the old soil before putting it in the new pot?
Thank you for sharing how to do this great video ❤

Some of the plant's leaves have turned yellow and the plant appears wilted. Does this mean it needs watering or what??

Did your peace lily survive? This happened to one of mine, and sadly, it did not make it :(

Hi Emmanuel, the plant was stressed for a few days, but was doing great after that :)
Woww..I thought it was plastic so healthy and shiny
Which month ?
Hi, Jaggokari.
You can repot any time of the year. 😄
