OK, I did it. I finally got tired of the mold in the soil of my Peace Lily. I'd been scooping it out only for it to return. Over the weekend I decided to repot and guess what?? The soil was PACKED to the roots I carefully rinsed them clean and there were some white looking, (hopefully) healthy roots. So I figured since the soil was so packed to the roots, it was holding water not really ever drying and being able to appreciate fresh waterings . I hope this gets rid of my problem. Wish me luck.

Hi Sy,
Good luck!

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
Good luck!

The soil is supposed to be packed around the roots. The new soil you added will soon be packed around the roots, as well. That's perfectly normal.
I hope that you used a quality sterilized potting mix so that you will not have any future mold problems.
I also hope that the soil replacement has not completely traumatized the plant.
Good luck!!

Here's an odd question for ya! What color, texture, etc., was the mold? I use old coffee grinds on my roses, and if I haven't dried the grinds in the oven before I use it, sometimes this big orange "bubble" appears....it's actually mold! I just use a peroxide solution to cure the problem. 1 part peroxide to 10 parts water. Same as for seedlings to prevent "damping off". I hope this helps!
