- Peace lilies are one of the most popular house plants out there, and for good reason too. Not only are their contrasting foliage & flowers gorgeous but the plant can also clean the air in your room, with larger plants cleaning more. NASA has the study to prove just how well they do! Be sure to watch the entire video to learn how to transplant your peace lily and how to keep it thriving! As always, plant prudently!

Trim the roots with caution - I made the mistake of trimming way too much off and half of my plant died. I would say don’t cut off more than 20-30% of the roots to be safe.
Thank you so much for showing how to tend to the peace Lily. I just repotted mine and I wish I had seen the video before I did. I had no idea you could prune the roots. Something learned☺️. I did subscribe to your channel and look forward to new things.👍
Just watched your other Peace Lily video & was happy to see you made another video. Wanted to educate myself before repotting my two peace lilies this weekend. Thank you!!
Oh wow! That first one seems like it was so long ago. Which of course it was cause my father passed two years ago and that's when I got the plant. I made the video several months later. That plant is very important to me. I'm glad you enjoyed the vids and I hope they help you out. If you have any questions while your doing it or once you've finished hit me up and I'll tell you what I know. It may be a little easier to get ahold of me on insta. ytgreenalchemist. Good luck, and plant prudently!
Thank you so much for this video ! I got this plant from my mother's funeral 2 weeks ago an I have no idea how to take care of it an I want to keep it alive as long as I can. My mother kept hers alive from my grandmother funeral for 10 yrs! I hope I can keep mine alive. Your videos are awesome thank you !
Thanks for the video. I just bought a peace lily that was dying at Lowe's. I repotted it and its getting new leaves etc. Thanks just checking if I'm doing the right thing with it. It is in a window spot but seams to be doing good. I will keep my eye on it for any damaged leaves.
Love it...thank you will report mine as soon as I get some tools ....love all the information x
Wow! Great tips esp on hard water/fluoridated water… I never thought of that. Helpful tips for this newbie plant mom!
This is the first time I have watched your video and well I've done several things wrong with the one I care for. I never dreamed of cutting those roots like that and thank you for listing the products I didn't know what to use.
Thank you for your video. Your instructions were very clear and easy to understand.
This video has so much helpful information in it. Thank you much.
I've watched your first video on how to takecare of the peace lily and it really helped me alot. I got my v first peace lily 2 weeks ago and now it looks healthier. I'm planning to repot it this weekend, this new video is really helpful since it's my first time. Your peace lily is v beautiful btw.😊 Have a good one!
That's too cool. I'm glad my video(s) helped you out. Let me know if you have any questions at all about the repotting process. It's fairly straightforward but I know there were a couple of questions I had when I repotted my first plant. Just don't forget to tamp the soil down as you add the new substrate in periodically. Plant prudently!
I successfully repotted my PL yesterday. So far she's looking great.😍🌱 I hope she will bloom. Thanks again, Justin! 🌱🌱😁
Thanks for this video. I have neglected my peace lily and with your help will revive her.
You answered sooo many questions I had. Thank you!
Thank You for the water tip! Major key I never knew
twice a year is enough to fertilize them. i have them many years, for the brown point, putt them outside on a very dark and rainy day
Thanks. I was fertilizing and watering my peace Lily too much. Thanks. I may check the roots when repotting if it has anymore problems.
With the style of this video I thought it was like 10 years old. Super 🌳
We just got a peace Lilly from my sisters funeral in April. And so far I'm doing pretty good at keeping her alive...I needed this video cause I'm not sure if I have a green thumb yet or not then also I wanted to know how to repot the plant because she's a nice size one. Not medium but not big.
So much info, great video thank you! And your plants are amazing
Thank you, that means a lot to hear! I hope you enjoy my channel, plant prudently!
The Green Alchemist I definitely do! I have some plant videos on my channel too if you’re interested ☺️
good tips man, thank you
Thank you so very much for the info about repotting the Peace Lilly. I have repotted mine in september, and it became more and more unwell, and now (5th of December) is very sloppy, lost all its shine and it looks like is dying. Could you please let me know what to do? Thank you🙏🌱
Thanks for sharing this video
Very Good video. Very informative! Very helpful! Thank you!!
Thank you! That means a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🌺
I am having trouble with my peace Lily this has helped me thanks
Thank you!
Hi, I got a plant lily a few days ago, and I’m a new plant mom. Is it ok to keep it in the same soil/pot it came in? When should I change that soil/ how often? Thank you.
Thank you!!!
Perfect video, thank you
Thank you for watching!🌲
The top half of my peace Lily is doing great. The leaves on the bottom half seem droopy/limp. I repotted it about 3 months ago but the pot has no drainage holes. Is it too early to repot it to a better pot? Also I wonder if the pot I choose is too big.
When do you know when you should replant?I got one when my dad died recently, and it's growing fast seem like there is not much room in it and I want it to grow as it needs too.
Hello, do you have to cut the roots back when you are repotting? Or can you leave them be?
What would cause only the bottom half of my peace lily to droop?? The top half is thriving. I’m scared to repot if I do t need to… any suggestions?? It was all thriving just a few weeks ago and then it started drooping
About how much water do you give one thats about 2/3 the size of this one? I know you said water once a week but about how much liquid each time?
How to grow peace just on water.. I see at nursery they put the plant on water so it flowers frequently...how to do it?
Omg do u have a video on how u got ur lemon tree to stay so small and fruits regular sized lemons?
We live in the country with well water. Is that ok to use for watering?
What about peroxide can you put that in your peace lily while water in it
I was a little confused during your video I would have liked to have seen a visual on the cactus succulent mix and then the potting soil that you added for the middle and top layer eg. once you got her into the pot you added additional soil which was hidden below your feet. Visuals are extremely important. If you would please let us know the specific name of the soil that you used especially at the top of the plant. Thank you in advance. Great videos.
What kind of soil was used?
Thank you. I’d be interested in a “water with me” video where you show which plants you use distilled water for a which you use tap water with.
That is a good idea. I'll start working on one! Appreciate the suggestion!
Would also love this
Can you use a water globe with this plant ? I just heard your from ky I'm from Indiana we are pretty much neighbors! May you stay blessed an safe !
Great information 👍, love watching your videos!
Thank you for your encouragement! I do appreciate it. Plant prudently.
How can I grow a lemon tree like that
I'm in Bardstown, KY. How about filtered water, from a whole house water filter? My plant is from my brother's funeral, Sept. 2014. Still in the same pot. It is full. Should I just put it in a bigger pot or divide it into 2 pots? What about "pups" around the outside? Leave them or put them in another pot?
So I find that with a peace lily their leaves are some of the most sensitive out there. The only thing I've found to get rid of all the brown tips and the yellowing leaves is to used distilled water. Water filters tend to leave behind sediments and elements like chlorine and flouride that will mess the leaves up. Also as you may know Kentucky has very limestone rich hard water which will hurt the leaves. Most water softeners use salts to soften the water. The only water filter out there that gives you as clean of water as distilling does would be Zerowater. It removes everything, but it is expensive. Now peace lilies like to be somewhat pot bound, but being in the same pot for 6 years may be a little too long. If it's made it this long and looks ok, I'd wait until the spring to repot. Repotting this close to fall could be a problem unless you really know what you are doing. Splitting is up to you too. People really only do it either because the plant is getting out of hand, or they want to keep it in the same pot, or they want to give one to a friend. Again I would only split a healthy plant, and in the spring. Good luck!
Thanks
Thanks for watching! Plant prudently!
Would you mind doing a video on Goldfish Plants (Nemanthus Gregarious)? Theres very little information to be found on them here on youtube, and I've been struggling with the tops of mine wilting since I bought it. Not sure if it's not getting enough humidity or what, but I've never had problems with past Goldfish plants like I do with my current one. 🤷♀️
I would love to! Although I do have a couple of the next videos lined up but I will work that one in! Can you take some pictures of the plant and let me see it?

Can I use a grow light for this plant? I currently have a table that all my plants sits on. They're all situated in 2 rows with the grow light in between the 2 rows sitting on the table facing upward. I aso have the peace lily sitting on a base of small rocks with some water for humidity. Since the peace lily does not like direct light or being near a window or a/c drafts, will it be okay with the grow light?
You sure can. I would use LED or fluorescent because some of the others are too hot or too strong. Though with fluorescent you won't have much head space to water and observe. Check out the full spectrum LED grow lights I use. I put a link to them in the description of every video. Though that's only if you wanted to check out some other ones they have. What do you use for grow light? The LEDs aren't as intense to run or as expensive to purchase nowadays like some other ones used to be. They've had some great advancements with them over the past decade. I've kept mine under a grow light for about two years + and he loved it. Also depending on how large your plant is it may not be enough to use a pebble tray underneath it for humidity. I have to use a humidifier with mine.
What about high alkaline water?
Hey omg. I live in KY too.
I did this and I think my peace lily is in shock. What did I do wrong?
Hi Justin, great video. What is the red/burgundy flowered orchid you have in front of the lemon tree. You look good without the baseball cap. 😉
That is a faux phalaenopsis. It's not real. I just keep a couple of fake plants mixed in with the real ones so I don't have to move a bunch around everytime I film. I appreciate the feed back. I never know if I should wear the hat or not. I'm glad you enjoyed the video too!
Omg! I’m late. I found your video after I already re-potted mine. I did not trim the roots like you did. Can I dig it up and do it the right way? HELP!!!!!
You dont need to trim the roots! Its probably better fpr the plant that you dont tbh
I heard coffee grounds mixed in dirty will help with flowering or a banana peel in dirty - Is it true?
It helps with the plants potassium requirements. Although I find cutting the peel up into one inch slices helps it to mix it into the dirt better. But don't do too much. They aren't heavy feeders.
Hey I got a peace lily from my favorite aunt that passed away, when I had it in the house it kept drooping down, it's been outside on the porch for 3 months now and it's thriving and huge, I'm about to have to replant it. What will I do this winter when I have to bring it in? how do I help it not die?
Yes, if you live in an area that gets cold you definitely should bring him in. These are tropical plants if I've ever seen one and will NOT survive a frost! That's awesome that yours is getting big, so be careful when you bring it in and get someone to help you lift it if necessary. I can't tell you how many times I've almost thrown my back out doing a ton of heavy lifting. Now once he's indoors it's just business as normal, well mostly. Sit him by a window that gets moderate light, I have mine in an east exposure, and im in the northern hemisphere. You should cut back the watering by about half as they will go slightly dormant. Typically in their native home range, they don't but in cooler areas, they won't get as much sunlight during the cooler months so they don't need as much water to beep them happy. Don't forget peace lilies aren't heavy feeders so I don't fertilize mine during this time either.
All that I bought was something called "promix, premium potting mix" to repot my peace lilly. Is this good enough? Or do I need to add several different types of soil?
Did you get it from Walmart? I've never used that but I see it all the time. At least here in Kentucky I see that people do buy it so it must be decent. You should try a little study with it and see how it does. Keep me posted, I'm always on the look out to see what works and what doesn't. Check the bag and see what they put in there. Most will tell you what all is in there and how much. I know most people think heavier bags generally mean more nutrients. This isn't always the case. If the bag is heavy typically it's because of one or two reasons. Most places will soak the medium which isn't good because this will cause the nutrients inside a warm moist bag to begin to break down. If it is not water it is heavy from there being a bunch of sand in there. While this helps with drainage it does not add the needed nutrients or support the plant.
@@TheGreenAlchemist oh, okay, thank you for you're response and letting me about the weights of the bag! I'm in Canada, I bought the soil from a place called Canadian Tire, kind of a Home Depot type place, I wasn't sure what to buy to repot my plants, and actually learned after I did it that I should have just left them in their pots for awhile😭😭 so I hope I dont kill them all by repotting right away to bigger pots
@@itscooltobeyou how did your peace lily turn out with the Promix? I’m from canada too
Hi I just bought one its big hope you can help I've never had one I need to repot it help
How did it go? If you have any questions you can shoot me an email ytgreenalchemist@gmail.com
I bought a peace Lilly and it came with no drainage holes 😩 is it okay to repot it?
Did you get a response? I’m wondering the same thing.
My peace lily looks so droopy after repotting
What shall I do now
Did you tamp the soil down? When you add in new soil you trap air around the roots. Pressing it down will get rid of those air bubbles that will wreak havoc on the roots and eventually kill the plant. Tamping won't do the job itself you'll want to water the plant around the base of the plant to get rid of any remaining air bubbles.
Once a week? I been watering mine every other day.
What if my spath flowers are green instead of white?
You can use the flowers as sort of a light gauge. If you have beautiful white flowers then your plant is getting the right amount of light. If they are green then they need a bit brighter location. If there are no flowers at all then you should move it to a brighter location. Be careful though. Acclimate them slowly because the leaves will burn.
The Green Alchemist thanks Justin🙏🏽
Really, only water once a month I’m new and was thinking weekly, with fertilization every other week 🤯
My mom cut my peace lily stems always the way off now I can't get it to grow what can I do
Whew I’m scared to cut that much of the roots off
I plan my new post now like it dieing😢
Wow, I've never heard anyone cutting the roots off. Only if they are dead roots
How the hell did you learn so much about plants?
Why on earth did you re-pot a plant in your living room?
Maybe he knows how to clean up after himself?
