Is there any saving the little last root of my peace lily? It got root rot and I cut it all off and put hydrogen peroxide on it. I had it in soil and changed it to water.

Personally i would cut off the dead leaf and try propagating with just the node. I don’t know too much about peace lilies however, that leaf is dead and is going to take energy away from the plants ability to produce roots!

Thank you I will do that

She was so large and I got root rot and before I noticed it was too late and it kept spreading even after I cut it all off.

### Plantnewbie commented on 2024-06-20

Now my other peace lily is doing the same thing. I don’t get it cuz o cut back on watering her so much too.

### Kate commented on 2024-06-20

What I’ve noticed is peace lilies tell you when they’re thirsty. They will start drooping and throwing a fit lol!! I would look for drooping instead of following a set watering schedule!

### Kate commented on 2024-06-20

Also check your other peace lily for root rot. If you do find some spritz the roots with a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution and let them dry for a few hours before repotting!! As far as the ratio of peroxide to water, I’d recommend looking that up as I have never had to do it personally but I have read that it helps!

Thank you

Maybe that’s what I’m doing wrong. Before repotting I’m not letting them dry out 1st.

### Plantnewbie commented on 2024-06-20

What if I just move them from soil to water do I still need to let them dry out 1st?

#### Kate replied on 2024-06-20

I would just to let them breathe a bit. Especially if they do have root rot
