How to re-pot your peace lily

First of all, you’ll want to take your plant and dust off all of the leaves before placing it in your shower and giving it a quick rinse with water, making sure the soil and leaves are completely soaked through. 

Then, take a new pot that’s a little bigger than the one it was previously in. The expert said: “Make sure that all of the pots you use have holes at the bottom so that the water can just run all the way through.”

Carefully remove the peace lily and soil from the original pot before setting it aside while you add a few handfuls of soil to your new pot. 

Then lift the plant again and put it in its new home, adding some extra soil so that there’s enough in there to fill up the pot. She admitted: “There’s not really a pretty or clean way to do this, I kind of just do it on my floor and in my tub of soil and make a giant mess. 

“But then I can just clean up afterwards and it’s not a big deal.”

Then, once your plant has been repotted, all you need to do is sit it in a sunny and bright spot for a couple of hours. The transformation was clear to see, with the peace lily completely lifting its leaves and looking bright and open once again. 

The pro also recommended dusting the leaves every day to keep them thriving, as the plants photosynthesise through their leaves. 

It’s also important that you don’t water them every day – instead, only do it when the soil is dry to the touch, which may be around every five to seven days.
