Reviving an Old Peace Lily: Repot and Bright Light

Root-Bound Plants Need Fresh Soil and Space

After eight years, your peace lily is likely severely root-bound. Knock it out of the pot and examine the roots. If they circle the container, move up one pot size.

Repotting Steps

1. Remove dead, mushy, or smelly roots.
2. Shake off old soil.
3. Replant in fresh, well-draining potting mix.
4. Ensure new pot has drainage holes.
5. Place in brightest indirect light.
