    1. Thank you for your comment! If the whole root of your peace lily is rotted, it would be really difficult to save the plant.
      Still, I would say it’s best to remove all the affected roots. You can trim away the rotted roots with a clean, sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears. Be sure to leave any healthy roots or new white roots intact. Once you have removed the rotted roots, you can repot the peace lily in fresh, well-draining soil. Make sure to water it sparingly until it has had a chance to recover. Good luck with your peace lily!

  1. I have a large peace Lilly that has gnats. I removed half the soil and have only sprayed with one part peroxide and 3 parts water for two weeks. The gnats have come back. If I remove the plant and soak in bleach? Will that get rid of them? If so what is the bleach solution?

    1. Hello!

      I wouldn’t recommend using bleach on your Peace Lily, as it can be too harsh. Fungus gnats often come from overwatering and organic matter in the soil. Try these steps instead:

      Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering to discourage gnat larvae.
      Continue with your peroxide spray; it can help kill larvae in the soil.
      You can also place yellow sticky traps near the plant to catch adult gnats.
      Consider using a gnat-specific insecticide or a natural option like neem oil if the problem persists.
      With these methods, you should see a reduction in gnats around your Peace Lily.

      Best of luck! 🌱🚫🦟
