Rescuing a Crushed Peace Lily: Hard Prune and Patience

Buzz Cut Was Correct

Stems creased near the base will die. Cutting to 3 inches was the right move.

Recovery Care

• Light: Bright indirect (north windowsill ideal).
• Pot: Keep tight—large pots slow recovery.
• Water: Thoroughly when surface feels dry. Use non-hard water.
• Fertilizer: Wait until abundant healthy new leaves appear.

New growth emerges from the crown. Initial leaves will be smaller; size increases with time.
