Peace lilies, known for their lush green leaves and elegant white flowers, are tropical perennials that can thrive for years and bloom repeatedly when cared for properly.

However, neglecting their needs can lead to wilting and poor health.

While peace lilies are relatively easy to grow, maintaining their health over time requires a bit of finesse.

A new houseplant hack, revealed on TikTok, has been gaining attention for its surprising success in promoting the growth of these popular houseplants.

Plant enthusiast Channy Gray recently shared her secret for growing a thriving peace lily in a TikTok clip that has gone viral.

In the video, she explains her unconventional method: removing all of the peace lily’s soil roots and growing the plant in water instead.

“One month ago, I removed all of my peace lily’s roots,” Gray told her followers.

“I do this because I find it easier to grow my peace lily in water. These soil roots are practically useless.”

Gray’s approach has yielded impressive results.

Just a month after transitioning her plant to water, it is not only surviving but thriving, with new roots and shoots visibly growing.

“I wash her root area down weekly to remove any old soil roots that are getting mushy or falling off.

“This is normal, and new roots will replace them,” Gray advises. “Remove the old water and replace it with fresh water.”

Growing peace lilies in water might seem unconventional, but these adaptable houseplants can adjust to different environments, including water.

According to experts at Lawn.com, growing peace lilies in water can promote healthier plants by reducing the risk of root rot and other soil-borne diseases.

To grow a peace lily in water, simply submerge the plant’s root system in a container filled with water.

Gray adds a few nutrients to the water each time she refreshes it to keep the plant thriving.

“Look at all this new growth she’s sprouting,” Gray noted in her video, showcasing the new shoots emerging from the plant’s root system.
