Do Your Peace Lilies Need To Be Repotted?

Peace lilies are easy indoor plants that can tolerate low light and some neglect. However, they may need repotting occasionally due to rootbound plants that cannot absorb nutrients and water, potentially dying. The plant is happy when its roots are slightly crowded, so don’t rush to repot if the plant doesn’t need it. If you notice roots growing through the pot, the plant will wilt because liquid runs through the drainage hole. If your peace lily is severely rootbound, repot as soon as possible.

Repotting a peace lily is not particularly fast-growing, so you only need to repot them every two years or so. The process is quick and easy with the right know-how. You can repot your plant at any time of the year, and you shouldn’t feel like you need to rush. Assuming the situation isn’t urgent, spring is the best time to do the job. Your plant should quickly rebound. One of the telltale signs that a plant (regardless of species) needs repotting is that it absorbs all the water from the soil much faster than it should. If you find yourself needing to water your peace lily every few days, then it might be ready for a pot one.

When a peace lily needs repotting, it is generally done once a year during or around the blooming season. However, sometimes, you must gather your plants and decide when to repot. Peace lilies are happy to be a bit crowded in their pots, and it’s time to repot when the plant begins to wilt more frequently. Repotting a peace lily can accelerate its growth, and the ideal time for this task is spring, although late winter or early summer also works.

In summary, peace lilies are tough indoor plants that can tolerate low light and neglect. They should be repotted every two years or so to ensure optimal growth and health.
