Superb advice , thank you so much .Im a beginner and found your explanation so straight forward. I suppose my biggest problem was that I was afraid to hurt the plant ...but you solved that for me .Thank you
I have 4 huge peace Lily's from family funerals over 15 years ago. I live in south Alabama and mine live outside on screened porch. I cover if frost is forecasted they love it!
I’d like to show you my peace lily. It has been growing for 10 years, replanted once. Now I am looking to propagate it which is how I found your video. Thanks!!
ok, so I did see that the plant did droop. I have done the same separation to make two plants. The main plant is doing well but the daughter is drooping. Now, I did clip the roots on all leaving a good amount for growth. However, drooping has occurred. Would you say this is normal for a few days?
Mine definitely had drooping as well for a few days as it adjusted. But after about 3 days it seemed fine. Just water when the soil is dry, keep it in a good bright spot in your home with no direct sun and it should bounce back! Hope it goes well!
Omg!!! Almost every part I pulled away only had ROOTS! Not the Rizomes. Omg no wonder today when I checked them they are wilting... or is it because they are in the shade outside on the porch?
Great questions! They can definitely be overwatered so I like to water when the top two inches of soil feel dry when I poke my finger in. Spritzing the leaves won't give the water necessary for the peace lily to survive since water uptake is done via their roots. Though spritzing water may increase humidity for a few minutes! Hope that helps!
Thank you for the great information! One concern; Breaking roots is a big no no isn't it? You stated it was "invigorating ". I have always been told it will stop growth in that spot as soon as roots torn which leads to less full /more leggy look. You commented yours was leggy as well. Could there be something to that?
Great point to bring up! Breaking roots will take energy from flower and leaf production for a short time while the roots regrow and spread. It doesn’t cause leggy plants, though it may delay your plant from growing new leaves and becoming bushier for a short time. My peace lilies in this video quickly filled in with new leaves and I didn’t notice any harmful effects. Honestly, I think the original plant was suffering from not getting enough light and that’s why it was rather leggy.
I bought a 9 inch peace lily from home depot, which was pretty tall and large when I received it. It was also extremely root-bound. I didn't want to repot it into a larger pot, so I basically just cut the rootball in half (with a clean, disinfected knife) and repotted it accordingly. Yes, some and/or many of the leaves did die, but it continues to sprout out new growth as well at about the same rate (I recommend only doing this during their growing season). As long as your plant continues to sprout out new growth, it will survive. Next season though, I will give propagating a shot.
This was helpful. Thanks for saying it should take a while to remove the dirt and separate the roots. It took me nearly two hours and I was so scared I was doing something wrong. My plant was severely root bound.
You’re amazing for sticking with it for that long!! Sometimes it’s crazy how crowded those roots can be. And I’m sure your peace lily will appreciate your time and care! 💛
I tried this 2 years ago and the plant hasn't grown very much since sadly, but the plant is 20 years old. The leaves are getting bigger though, the detail in this helps out a lot. My pot is only 4 inches though, hopefully it doesn't matter too much
First off I'm so impressed that you have a 20-year-old peace lily! That's amazing! They do tend to grow very slowly and don't flower very much as they get older. Keeping a regular fertilizing schedule in their growing season can help.

So glad it was helpful for you! Thank you!
Lovely video Thank you... I re potted mine and its getting big so think I'll be doing this next time 😊😊
Love your videos!! Looking forward to succulents and other plants!!
Thank you for this video, I didn’t know peace lilies can be propagated. What size pots did you put the new plant in?
A brilliantly informative video!
Thank you!

Wow, I hope to be able to keep mine alive for as long as you have! And what a lovely reminder of those family members who have passed on 💛
Thanks for the information 😊
Great video! It gave me the courage to try and propagate my lilly :D
Thank you. How are your leaves so damn shiny? 😄
Haha thank you! I use a product called Chrysal Leaf Shine every now and then. It’s a tip I picked up from working at a greenhouse 😊
Thanks for divulging your secret formula for shining leaves. -Love from Mumbai, India❤❤❤❤❤

10 years!?! That’s amazing! I hope propagating it goes well!

Glad to hear, you’re welcome!
Thank you this is really helpful and clear to follow :)

I hope some of them recover omg.
How to water a peace lilly plant in a no drainage pot ?
Just be very careful not to put too much water in when you water. I'll check to make sure the soil is dry before I water.
Did the new peace Lily bloom eventually?
It has bloomed once since I split it. It’s an older Peace Lily so it doesn’t bloom often, unfortunately
@@tenneyplants awesome
Love this! Question, my leaf tips are black/brown too. Any idea what causes that?
It’s most often caused by lack of humidity or irregular watering. Try increasing the humidity or not letting it get to dry and it could help! :)
Very informative and you explain things so well! You have helped me a lot as I need to divide up my peace lily today. New subscriber here🙂
Also, would love tips and explanation of how to re pot/divide monstera deliciosa!
Thank you! I’m so glad it was helpful! I’ll definitely look into doing a monstera next! 😊
What does it look like at day two or three? Mine looks like it’s dying almost every leaf completely flopped over.😢
Mine did have a period of shock that it went through, but it seemed okay by about day 5 or 6. I’m hoping it’s the same for you and it’ll be okay!
could a Peace lily ever be over watered?
Could I just spritzed the leaves everyday .
Great questions! They can definitely be overwatered so I like to water when the top two inches of soil feel dry when I poke my finger in.
Spritzing the leaves won't give the water necessary for the peace lily to survive since water uptake is done via their roots. Though spritzing water may increase humidity for a few minutes!
Hope that helps!
@@tenneyplants yes thank you.
I appreciate for your efforts to reply each & every questions. That's a very good positive sign of yours.
That was super helpful, thank you! If you still have the propagated one, did it get some new growth? 😊
Glad you liked it! I actually gave this plant to a friend but I'm assuming that it's still doing well because I haven't heard anything otherwise. :)

@@tenneyplants thanks, I'll try that!
I cut mine in half and I was horrified what I did 🤥
