Any suggestions on what to do? I repotted my peace lilies about a month ago and I’m still having issues.

Use filtered or distilled water, as tap water can contain fluoride that peace lilies are sensitive to.

Okay got it! I was using a Brita filter but I used distilled now

Brita filtered water is ok. It looks like you overwatered or overwatered so if the soil is dry then water if not then don't water this time. They might just need some time even though its been a month. But if its not getting better then I'd say they have died 😞

Make sure when you repot that you massage the roots to get the old soil out of them, then put it in the new soil. I have made the mistake where I just put the old soil with the plant into a pot of new, and it had issues. The old soil doesn’t soak water up like the new and ends up drying out the whole plant because the roots can’t get water.

Peace Lily’s are the most unpeaceful plants I own! Thelma is always going through something at my house! lol I repotted her into a bigger pot and she almost died. I read that the roots want to feel the side of the pot so I repotted her again. She’s slowly coming out of her dramatic temper tantrum. So maybe give yours some time in a bright window. Water from the bottom?? Just a few ideas.

Make sure before you water to check the soil further down. They don’t like to sit in soggy soil.

### JJ commented on 2025-07-18

Also is she getting enough light?

### JJ commented on 2025-07-18

If worse comes to worse and you don’t want to lose the whole plant I’d take it out of the soil cut off any black or mushy roots and then put it in a jar with distilled water only until you get some nice roots. I had one I almost lost in just water for almost a year.
