in plant news i repotted my small peace lily (now my 'medium' peace lily) and split it apart into four pieces. there was one big growth cluster that was like, 75% of its size, two pretty tiny shards that came off really easy off the edges, and one larger but pretty sparse growth that was more deeply enmeshed with the big cluster. i'm still not really 100% sure how peace lilies grow, if these are separate plants potted together, or if they're a single plant that's connected through some kinda rhizome or what.
it was comparatively rootbound, with a bunch of bigger roots running along the edge of the pot, so i clipped those back some. i can at least verify for sure that whatever problem was plaguing them 1. definitely wasn't root rot and 2. might have been being rootbound. tbh it might just be chronic low humidity; that's definitely the most prevalent poor growing condition here.
so anyway i now have two more pots of peace lily, since i planted the two small ones together in a single pot. hopefully they'll all recover from the repotting well, and i guess i'll see how well they do over the next, you know, year.
