# Acquired some pieces of my mom’s 35 year old peace lily she received…

_Posted by SuccySuccy on 2026-08-25_

Acquired some pieces of my mom’s 35 year old peace lily she received when her mom passed. Pulled these woody sections in full, right out the pot to free up some much needed room. (Mother plant is potted directly and extremely root bound.) Question: now what? Not sure what to do with the woody bits. Prune them off until I get to green? Leave them be and just repot? Currently hanging out in water until I get some advice 🙏 TIA!
