		<description>Update!! Sad Peace Lily Will Recover With A Little Care

SO it's been just over three weeks and my peace lily is doing a lot better.  After transplanting it into a better pot I waited two weeks and it showed little improvement.  I trimmed the dead leaves off at the base and I tied the stalks up in hopes that it would help it, which it did but the leaves remained droopy and "water logged".  Three days ago I decided that would try something different.  I took the plant out of the pot and separated the roots and shook loose the soil checking for root rot. The roots and the root balls were still very strong to I decided I would split the plant into two separate plants. I followed the stalks down to the two separate clumps and I cut the plant in half with a bread knife.  I transplanted the two separate halves into pots (the same sized one I had the original one in) with miracle grow soil, watered them throughly and loosely tied the stalks together.  I also put chop sticks in the soil to support the stalks.   The next morning the leaves perked up and were more firm.  I untied them and they held there own, almost looking as good as they did when I got the plant. Success at last.   Patience is definitely the key to these plants!</description>
