This video saved my 5 yr old peace Lily from my fathers funeral. I am so so thankful. I spilt mine into like 7 different plants and 2 survived. So now I have 2 healthy peace lilies! They’re still in water and doing so well. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! 🌱🌱🌱

This video was so helpful. You saved my peace lily from my mom’s funeral. I originally put the peace lily in water before I went on vacation but didn’t know my peace lily had prior root rot then I also put it in water and pushed the plant too deep into the water so root rot went up into the bottom of the plant too while I was gone. I then tried to put it in soil when I got back to make it bounce back. Nothing! So then I found your video and went through the peace lily observing the roots and seeing what could actually be salvaged. I’m currently propagating five pieces with this method and within one night they have already perked up. I almost wanted to cry. Thank you sooooo much for this video and being so descriptive.

This technique saved my 7 year old doomed lily! I just re potted it after months of growing new roots in the vase. Thank you so much!!

Thank you for sharing the video! I've followed your instructions and saved a dying peace lily my wife was about to get rid off. It's now adding new leaves and I can't wait to see it blooming.

You’re a life saver! I could listen to u talk all night 😆 I’ve followed suit in trying to save my peace lily ... exactly the same way ...I even collected rain water to give it - so here’s hoping! Thanks for a great video... I just subscribed 😆

Thanks so much. I took my peace lily out of its soil today-it was showing all of the signs for root rot-and yep, that's what it was. I followed your technique which was fun and interesting to carry out. Here's hoping she can hang on!

If you remove all the soil, cut the brown mushy rotting roots off, then soak the remaining roots in a solution of pure 3% hydrogen peroxide (just squirt the peroxide from the bottle into the roots and let it sit or fill a cup up and sit the roots in it for about two minutes etc.), Then rinse the roots well with water you'll have a better chance of saving the plant. Hydrogen peroxide will kill the microbes causing the root rot without harming the plant and it's precious root system, then once hydrogen peroxide is mixed with water the water will neutralize the hydrogen peroxide.

This plant is really testing me! I thought I got the perfect watering timing. They're so prone to root rot... I saved my peace lily a month ago just by changing soil and surprisingly, it bloomed a spathe. However, after 2 weeks, the root rot came back. Now I'm trying this technique. Thank you! Wish me luck

I wish you had actually shown the physical process while describing it. But thanks, loved the video and I like your articulation.

So I just purchased a peace Lilly from ikea. I watered it, and then 2 days later it started wilting (top soil dry) so I watered it again... I started noticing this thing was wilting every 2-3 days so eventually when I took it fully out of the planter I noticed the soil was moist. So possibly I had drowned it! I broke up the root ball and divided the plants into 4-5 individual plants and now have them in water. They were COMPLETELY wilted but I thought I’d try your method - it has now been one day and 60-70% of the plants have started rising again 😳!! I’m so impressed!!!!

Thanks much i wish I would have found your channel sooner but I will try this tomorrow morning hope I can save mine. One more question how often do you change the water and do you put in nutrients.

I saw ur vedio this is really helpful..You saved my peace lily..Thanks

Do you reccomend those gel spheres? I have a rather big pot I want to use for a hydro peace lily but since is not see through I'm scared I will not know how much water to keep in the vase and cause it to rot...

Thank you for your video! I just finished getting my peace lily out of the soil, cleaned up and into water. After watching your vid here, I think I need to go back and take off more of the damaged root. The stalks are also damaged from bending to the droop. One can only hope it might resurrect! Thanks again!

Thankyou so much! I just did this. I’m hoping I can save mine 🥺🥺🥺

I will try this. My peace lily drooped 2 days ago. It didn't perk up after watering it. Fingers crossed that I can still save it.

Hi Thanka for a good explanation and everything we needed to know I will try it.. I need to know if after so long have you repot it in soil? If not... How did you keep it.. Did you put something in the water to fertilize or feed?

My peace lily started drooping and really quickly some leaves were yellowing. I'm a newbie to plants so i just removed the soil and a lot of the roots. Base of middle leaves were all mushy and i could just pull them out super easily. I'm considering cutting off all the roots but I'm nervous cause we arent getting a lot of sun here, and in case I cut it at the wrong area

Aah I’ve just repotted mine to try and save it but didn’t know I could’ve taken all the roots off! They were all brown and bit mushy so probably should have! I’ve treated them with cinnamon so hopefully that’ll help kill off anything left behind, otherwise I’m definitely trying this method!!

sooo, i don’t know if you answered this already or not, but how long does it usually take for the roots to grow back?

Is it better to put few plants together or to separate them so that each plant has its own water? 🤔 Thank you.

Thank you, I have a very tiny one I bought 2 days ago, and the leaves started drooping a lot so I was really worried. I seperated it into 4 smaller plants and took off all the rotted roots, they came off like wet spaghetti 😅 I really hope they are going to regrow roots nicely!

I’ve started to get some new white roots growing 🎉🎉 , when should I put it back in soil? Only 1 of the 4 has started to show root.

My peace lily was all droopy. The leaves were turning brown and crispy. I thought it was dehydrated. So I transferred it to leca. Although I tried to clean all the soil before transferring but maybe some chunks were left and it got a massive root rot. As per your instruction I chopped off all my brown roots and cleaned it under running water and placed it in water only. I also moved it to a sunny spot where it will get bright indirect light all day long. Let's hope for the best. I'm not gonna add any fertilizer right now.let the plant recover a bit and then I'll start adding a liquid fertilizer.

My peace Lily has dropped, the leaves have shrivelled up and some are now yellow. I’m not sure if the roots have rotten but from the state of the leaves can my plant be saved? Thank you in advance

my peace lily has these dark burnt looking tips on the leaves and I dont know if its due to overwatering or not enough nutrients or too much nutrients. im using normal potting soil and I cut down on watering it because the soil was damp for a long period of time.

I repotted mine in soil before I saw this video. Will my roots still grow back? I still had a few healthy roots on my plants

How does putting in water not cause damage like when its in a pot with no drainage holes? Im trying to save mine. Thanks! :) Edit: derr you answered my question in the video lol. How do you keep the water oxygenated?

I have this plant that was given to us at a funeral, we've had the plant for 10 years. A few months ago I repotted the plant into a bigger pot and a bunch of leave died and the leaves left stayed in droop mode. I wish I had seen this video before I had put the plant back into a smaller pot. When I took the plant out I found many brown, soggy roots. I cleaned the roots up and as I did this I saw small roots growing out of the base (it's still alive even tho it's 4 leaves are dropping) I'm going on vacation for two weeks and I'm trying to decide if I should leave it in the soil or put it in water. I so want this plant to survive as it has sentimental value to us. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for doing this video!

Good thing is peace lillies grow fast in water but they don't grow huge they keep having their border leaves turning yellow all time... So it grows but it also keeps dying slowly....

my peace lily leaves are twisted and seems unhealthy. i have done the same thing cut all the rotten roots. Will they revive ?

I have one with root rot. I took it out of the soil and there are still few white roots left. Should I leave them? There are also thick yellow (probably dead) branches coming up from the big root. Should I cut them completely from the root? I wanted to share the photo but couldn't find a way in youtube. Thanks.

love it

Do you keep this outside? It's hot here. I have mine inside but in front of window..

My peace lily started dropping even after watering and now I know why :( Do we need to cut all the brown roots even if they are not mushy? Thank you for the video, much help :)

My peace Lilly is extremely rotten and very wilted and drooping. Will it survive with this technique?

My peace lily all leaves became brown so I cut them off still the new growth is very low...I have kept small peace lily in big container is that the reason for it's drooping

I did this, and I'm about four days in and my peace lily leaves are turning brown and yellow..

i found out my peace lily has root rot and i removed all the rotting roots and i only have healthy roots and i put it in water but the leaves are still droopy can they get better?

Hi did you repot it in soil?

is it like so if this plant is initially grown in soil. And then if one removes the soil and try to grow it in water , then it won't grow?? As i have done the same thing. Will it grow and flower?

How much light will it need ?

I was away for a few weeks and my mom overwatered my peace lily 😭 now it has root rot but I’m scared to separate it Idk whether I can save it 😭💔 how do I know when to put it in soil again? And do I have to throw away all the previous soil that was overwatered and use new one instead?

Can I apply the same concept to my peace lily picasso? I’m so stressed out over the plant having root rot, pls help me 😩

1 ALSO STILL NOT GOOGOLOGY

Thank you for sharing this! I think my peace lily might be suffering from root rot. I'm going to try and repot it soon and fingers crossed it doesn't have much rotten. This is a good method if it needs it! :)

Hey, thanks for the video! Do you feed your peace lily with any food while its in the water only?

Ok! I'm going to do this! Speak faster, good video, thank you. I believe mine has root rot.

I kill a calla lily 🥺 i try to save it by repooting it in bark but it does not work , now i understend why , thank you for postting this

Good info but you could say it all in less than 5 minutes.

Hey buddy... I appreciate you taking the time to make this video but you do realize that you're a 12 minute long video could have been just a 2 minute long video?
