My peace lily is doing bad after repotted when I discover...

#PeaceLily
1ft to light, indirect
12” pot with drainage
Last watered 3 years ago
@LadyKeylime I think these white worms are larvae of fungus gnats. Sometimes all it needed was a hydrogen peroxide/water solution. 4 parts HP and 1 part H20. This kills the larvae and any more gnats laying eggs on your top soil. As for your new repotted plant, it may be the soil is compacted or hard. Try watering less, allowing the top layer of soil to dry. Or try watering from the bottom up. Pour water in a shallow dish and set the pot on it. The soil should absorb it from the bottom. Leave it immersed in the water for 20 minutes and then discard the excess water. This is a sure way for the roots to get the moisture it needs, and you get stronger mroots, as they grow toward the moisture. Depending on the water in your region, try using filtered or distilled water. Although ordinary tap water is ok too, but I think of it as treating the β€œpatient” until she of thriving. So give her a treat of special h20 for a while.
Larva for fungus nats
