# How it started vs how it’s going! Got this struggling peace Lily for…

_Posted by Emily 🪴🤍 on 2025-05-22_

How it started vs how it’s going! Got this struggling peace Lily for free at a plant show in October. Turned out it had severe root rot, all the roots were gone! Decided to grow it hydroponically and it’s been thriving since. Just wanted to share because I’m amazed at the root system!
