Hi guys :) my mom propagated this peace lily for me so it’s always been in water and the roots are turning brown. What’s happening? I’ve tried hydrogen peroxide and cutting off the ends but they just went back to brown at the tips. It’s growing a new leaflet so it’s clearly growing. What do I do?!

I think it just may be developing harder roots in the water. I wouldn’t cut them anymore and let them grow longer so you can plant it soon.

#### Terrynさんが2025-05-05に返信しました

I’m not wanting to plant it. I want to keep it in water!

#### Abbeywabby🪴🎍さんが2025-05-05に返信しました

ohh gotcha! Yeah, I say just let it develop. Don’t cut its roots anymore and if possible, get it a bigger container to be in so it can spread its roots.

That’s what’s happened to mine. Mine is in a planter with a betta fish. Plant seems to like it.

awe it’s such a small container for the little guy 😢

I water propagate all the time and sometimes this happens! No need to worry unless plant is doing bad or the roots are mushy! Sometimes weirdly enough water roots just turn brown😂❤️

#### Terrynさんが2025-05-05に返信しました

Thanks!!!! Would you agree, no more cutting?

#### Terrynさんが2025-05-05に返信しました

Also, how deep do you put your plant in the water?

#### Ashlynnさんが2025-05-05に返信しました

I’d say so! Sorry it’s blurry lol but for reference here’s a pro I’ve had going for a bit! Never been in soil! You can see faintly the back root on the left is all white but the main ones are dark dark brown for me! The have a mind of their own🤪

just enough for the roots to get water, but not too much of the actual plant cause I can start rotting if it’s fully submerged

#### Ashlynnさんが2025-05-05に返信しました

About here if you’re worried but honestly🫣 I fill mine to the top, but I haven’t propagated this plant specifically. \*Some plants\* won’t get mushy stems or anything in water!! Just depends!

The roots will change color if you plan on leaving them in water. Do you change the water every week so good oxygen will remain in the water also this prevents algae in the water

#### Terrynさんが2025-05-05に返信しました

Yes I do. Thanks for the help!

### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-05-05にコメントしました

As long as they are firm. The roots are turning brown because they are exposed to light.

#### Terrynさんが2025-05-05に返信しました

Perfect, thanks!!
