Dividing a Large Peace Lily: Anytime, With Roots on Each Piece

You have a very large peace lily (Spathiphyllum) and want to divide it into multiple plants.

When: Anytime

Peace lilies are tropical evergreens — no dormancy required. Divide when convenient.

How

1. Unpot; wash soil off roots.
2. If root ball 6" diameter: cut in half, then each half in half (4 pieces).
3. Each piece must have roots + leaves.
4. Pot in fresh mix; water well; shade 1 week.

Tips

• Use clean, sharp knife.
• Don't fertilize 4–6 weeks post-division.
• High humidity helps recovery (bag tent).

Easy, high success. One plant becomes a gift collection.
