I just had to repot three of them for my client. I placed them on their side and slowly worked them out of the pots. They were all totally root bound and pot bound so I had to cut through roots and trim the roots to get them all untangled. It was slow tedious work. I used my fingers to gently comb through the roots to get all of the soil off. Of course these hadn’t been repotted in years. Once they were free, I filled the new pot and made holes in the soil to place all the divisions instead of them being all stuck in one spot. I gave them a nice soak in the sink for about 45 minutes and then let them drain. They had a bit of transplant shock but nothing major. They are much happier now and doing well. That’s how I did it and I’m sure others will share how they do theirs.
@HappyHome I had to have my husband get it for me, I think he just grabbed the first bag he saw that said potting soil! Haha! I went ahead and used it - Miracle-Grow potting mix.
Hi Alice! I suggest a good chunky soil for all plants, I like to mix potting soil, perlite and orchid bark. It helps drain the water properly so the roots don’t stay wet for too long. @KnightlyKatsura
I transplanted my beautiful
Peace Lilly about a few days ago. She arrived looking so beautiful, with dark green leaves and 2 long shoots of Lilys. However, she was severely root bound.
I gave her a good soaking and let her drip in my dish rack. Transplanted her from a 2"inch plastic pot to a 4".
Used Miracle-Gro and patted the soil down but not to firmly.
Anyway...the next morning I was amazed and delighted.
My beautiful lady's leaves 🍃 had a deeper green and she sprouted 3 new Lillys!
For a total of 5.
I have been misting her every 3 days or so and she seems to enjoy it.

Oh...forgot to add...I purchased her about 3 weeks ago, along with 5 others, from Costa Farms.
They are arrived healthy and beautiful and are thriving.
A word to the wise...you probably don't anyway...but don't purchased any indoor plants from Walmart.
I ordered them sight unseen, all in bad condition, they had planted them without any care or compassion.
