Peace Lily Division Gone Wrong: Root Rot from Off-Season Repotting

Timing Is Everything

Peace lilies should only be divided/repotted April 1–July 30 when roots actively grow. Off-season division causes root rot.

Pot Size Matters

Divisions need barely-fitting pots with extra perlite for drainage.

Rescue Steps

• Move to smaller pots.
• Add perlite to soil.
• Water only after 3–5 days dry.
• Empty drain trays at 1 hour.
• Repot to 2-inch larger diameter only when root-bound again.
