Peace lily houseplant

Question

Our cat got to the pot and peed in it and the plant died. All that is left is a 2-3 inch root. The top 1 inch is black. I want to replant this, do you have any suggestions? I would really like for this plant to survive. Thank you.

To reliably regrow a peace lily it is best to have a portion of root with at least one leaf attached, but there is a chance that this plant might grow back from just the root. Try cutting away the blackened portion and planting the remainder as a root cutting. This article may help:
