I need help! My peace lily is separating! Can I separate and repot? Or what can I do? It was so healthy and then… this!

You defo need to water it - they are drama llamas lol and it’ll perk right back up when you do. And yes you can totally repot if you want to, I had to split mine into two. Both now doing really well :)

It used to perk back up, but now it’s acting like it’s fallen and it can’t get up!🤣

It’s looked this way for a month or so.

Oh dear… maybe too much water? Or not enough misting?

Does the it have a hole in it? It might be over watered I’d try checking the roots see if they are rotting.

It doesn’t have a big hole in the bottom. If it is root rot, what should I do?
