Peace Plant (Spathiphyllum) Eaten by Squirrels: Can Roots Regrow?

Your wife's 10-year-old sentimental peace plant was stripped to roots and lower stalk by squirrels (likely rabbits).

Rescue Attempt

1. Keep in shade.
2. Cover with wire mesh basket.
3. Water carefully—roots rot easily. Let dry between waterings.
4. Wait 1 month for green shoots.

Backup Plan

If no growth in 4 weeks, replace it secretly with a healthy new one. Same pot, same spot. She'll never know.

Either way, the memory lives on.
