I have a MONSTER of a Peace
lily that probably should be divided...but I'm torn.
The last time I repotted the thing, it went into a 24" pot and I thought, gee, this is the last time I'll probably be able to handle this by myself! haha That was 4 or 5 years ago. It seems perfectly happy....I've counted up to 20 blooms on it at once, and it's beautiful. BUT, it is also bigger than my comfy cozy rocking chair! hahaha It pretty much dwarfs the poor chair and just looks way too oversized for the room.
So, the question is...how difficult is it to divide Peace lilys and keep them healthy?
I also have another peace
lily that finally found a home in my house that it really likes and has started blooming again after its first blooms when I received it 6 years ago at my mother's funeral. Now, quite a few of its lower leaves are yellowing/browning. I think it needs to be repotted because it droops if not watered a couple times a week.
This
plant, though, has quite a bit of stem on each of the individual
plants that stands above the soil. Is it better the have the stem base under soil and can the bases drying out be contributing to the leafe loss? Some of the leaves that are turning yellow are new growth, some are old growth, so I don't know if I should be worried or not.
Thoughts????????
thanx!!!
