# Hi guys, I finally was gonna switch my peace lily tinto water and…

_Posted by Doll on 2025-01-19_

Hi guys, I finally was gonna switch my peace lily tinto water and when I cleaned it from its dirt, it was root rot so I disinfected it and put it in water and it has been getting root rot since then. Today I had to cut a big chunk of the root ball because it was getting mushy now my question is can it be saved and do I need to let it callus over before I put it back in water? Thank you.🤍🪴

I had to trim my peace lily a few times before it finally acclimated to hydro. I try to cut back past the rot a bit too. I also started off with tap water but it hated it so i only used distilled or rain water now 🙃

Treat it with peroxide dip
