Reviving a Peace Lily with Root Rot from Overwatering

A peace lily (Spathiphyllum) with wet soil but droopy leaves has root rot from overwatering. Remove the plant, cut away all smelly, mushy roots, and repot in a clay pot with fresh potting mix. Use a saucer to catch runoff. Going forward, water only when the top inch of soil is dry—or wait for slight leaf droop as a natural signal.

Peace lilies are excellent communicators: they visibly wilt when thirsty, perking up quickly after watering. Learn this cue to avoid chronic overwatering.
