Peace Lily Root Rotting

Question

I overwatered my Peace Lily in a major way. The pot doesn’t have drainage holes (lesson learned) and I went into immediate rehab mode. I am a beginner planter, so I have done a lot of research on diagnosing the problem and treating the problem.

I knew it was root rot when the stems were soggy and black with a pungent smell. That was the easy part. The difficult part was the actual solution. I removed the plant from the pot, washed off the soil, and examined the damage. There were several healthy rooots (I was so grateful). I trimmmed the damaged roots, soaked the remaining, healthy roots in a water-hydrogen peroxide solution for a little over a hour , and repotted the plant in a nursery pot.

Fast forward a few hours… my poor peace lily looks so sad. What else can I do? What did I do wrong?

Sincerely,

One who is developing a Green Thumb 🙂

You have done as much as you can and now will need to wait out to see if the plant can recover.
