What are the consequences of overwatering the peace lily and how to deal with it?

1. What are the consequences?

If you give your peace lily tree too much water, it may cause root rot. In this way, its efficiency in absorbing nutrients will be greatly reduced, resulting in problems such as yellowing, drying, and wilting of leaves. In addition, its rotten roots may attract bacteria and pests, causing the plant to become sick and leading to more serious consequences.

2. How to deal with it

1. Remove the plant from the pot and prune it: When you find that you have overwatered it, the first thing you should do is take it out of the pot and then prune it. The yellow leaves, dry branches and rotten roots all need to be cut off. After cutting, you need to put it in disinfectant for disinfection.

2. Change the soil and replant: Use clean leaf mold and river sand to make new soil with good permeability, and replace the old soil in the flowerpot. Then plant the plant in new flower soil and place it in a warm, ventilated environment for a period of time. During this period, be careful to prevent exposure to strong light and provide shade in time when the light is strong. After a period of time, it will be able to recover.
