Any advice for my peace lily? It’s been losing leaves like this for a while. Would repotting help?

I would check what’s going on with the roots. So yes, repot… sort of. Unless it’s very root bound, I would return it to the same pot after looking at the roots inside the soil. However I suspect you might have an issue with root rot instead. Let me know what you see in there

I pulled it out and it was sitting in a lot of rocks… it is very root bound and I’ll have to repot soon. But quite a few of the roots look like dead grass. Is that root rot?

If the roots are black and squishy, then I’d say that’s root rot! Removing the rotted roots should help

Also spray the root rot with 3% hydrogen peroxide it’ll kill and prevent it. If you would like, you can also put it into a clear pot to check for further root rot.

Thank you so much!
