How to Divide and Repot a Peace Lily

University of Illinois Extension demonstrates how to divide and repot a Peace Lily so its roots can extend into fresh, larger volumes of soil. The short video walks through the supplies, splitting the root system, and moving the divisions into new pots. It is a Peace Lily-specific demonstration rather than a general guide for all houseplants.
