The roots of my peace lily are coming through the drainage holes. Does this mean it’s time to repot this?

She’s not super happy at the moment, and I’m trying to figure out if this is part of the problem.

yes this is def part of the problem! repot 1-2 inches bigger!

Agreed - if it’s growing in soil and the roots are coming through like that then I would repot into a pot that is 1-2 inches larger in diameter. It’s a good idea to use fresh soil too. Best of luck! 🌿🌿🌿

Also if you want to get rid of the browning tips on the leaves - try using water conditioner. You will never have the brown tips on your peace lily again

What is water conditioner? I switched from using tap water to bottled water, but am not using anything special!

Bottle water is expensive. Yeah, get yourself a water conditioner for plants. It’s like a liquid that you have to mix with your tap water to remove chlorine/chloramine. Mine also, allegedly detoxifies heavy metals and helps balance pH, but I don’t know how helpful or important that is. It’s pretty cheap, compared to bottled water - 17$ for a few months of use.

Yes repot anytime your roots are coming out the bottom.
