# I have an update. I repotted my peace lily and found some root rot…

_Posted by Anna on 2023-06-30_

I have an update. I repotted my peace lily and found some root rot (the size of the pot was too large) and I put it into a smaller pot and watered it as well as made sure it had extra drainage. I then watered it and gave it some plant food. It’s still looking droopy. Does anyone have any tips?

How long ago did you do all of this? It’s common for peace lilys to go into shock when repotted (especially when you mess with their roots). Wait a week or two if you haven’t already.

It may just be in shock right now, hopefully it bounces back soon!

They are dramatic but should perk back up soon. If I see my plants have root rot. After I remove all rot, I spray the rest of the roots with 1:3 peroxide to stop the spread of the rot.

Try to cut off the brown roots
