Peace Lily repotting shock

After repotting, the original root ball may remain dry while fresh soil around it is wet. Check both before treating peace lily droop as transplant shock.

Fix uneven moisture first

Water the dry original root ball slowly and drain the pot. If both zones are moist and the crown is firm, give bright indirect light and leave the roots undisturbed while they recover. Repeated watering is not a treatment for wilt in wet soil.

Correct a clear planting problem

Lift a crown that has been buried below its previous level. A pot much larger than the root ball, blocked drainage, or tightly packed mix may need correcting once. Inspect for rot if the crown softens or yellowing and wilt continue to worsen.
