My peace Lilly had root rot and I repotted it over 4 days ago where I cut away the bad roots and cleaned out the old soil and repotted it with new soil. The leaves are still telling me my peace Lilly is sad and I’m not sure what to do

Soil still looks pretty wet. Also they need time to adjust and recover.

Peace lilies seem to be more prone to transplant shock. I would probably simply give it some time to recover while making sure to give it the right light and watering frequency. Wait until the soil is 50% dry to water again- you can check the moisture with a toothpick or chopstick. It should hopefully start looking better within the next couple of weeks. Adding a humidifier might help a little as well but isn’t the biggest concern.

Give it time. It could be several days or weeks before it bounces back.

Did you happen to spray the roots with peroxide to kill the bacteria??

I am going in again take 2. I unpotted it to find mold growing so I will spray the roots again with rubbing alcohol
