Problem Overview: Stunted Peace Lily with Yellowing Leaves
0:00
Hello welcome to Great Garden Channel
0:06
this is a peace Lily that I planted three months ago
0:09
but during all that time the plant has barely grown
0:12
the leaves have started turning yellow
0:14
and the growing medium is no longer in good condition
0:19
I realized that perhaps the problem
0:21
wasn’t about whether I was caring for the plant
0:23
too much or too little
0:25
it was actually the way I was growing it
0:28
so today I’ve decided to try growing this Peace Lily
0:31
in a completely different way
0:33
combined with a simple recipe
0:35
using familiar ingredients that
0:37
you may already have in your kitchen
0:40
if you’re a beginner

0:44
so you won’t miss any simple plant care tips
0:46
here on Great Garden let’s get started
Preparing the Natural Onion Extract Solution
0:50
first let’s prepare a simple onion solution
0:52
to help care for the plant
0:54
do you have onions at home
0:57
onions contain sulfur compounds
0:59
and other natural plant compounds
1:01
that can be used in homemade plant care solutions
1:08
first
1:08
take about 1/4 of an onion and cut it into small pieces
1:12
just like in the video
1:18
cutting the onion into smaller pieces
1:20
increases the surface area
1:22
allowing its natural compounds
1:24
to be released into the water more easily
1:32

comment below
1:38
and let me know which country you are watching from
1:41
it’s amazing that we can connect
1:42
from all around the world
1:49
place all the chopped onion into a clean
1:51
glass container
Steeping the Onion Mixture in Hot Water
2:01
next pour 500 milliliters of hot water into the glass
2:08
the hot water
2:09
will help extract some of the compounds from the onion
2:11
into the solution
2:22
finally cover the container
2:24
and let the mixture steep for approximately 1 hour
Unpotting the Peace Lily & Cleaning Old Soil
2:37
while waiting let’s take the plant out of its pot
2:42
gently squeeze
2:43
or press the sides of the pot to loosen the plant
2:46
being careful not to damage the root system
2:52
then
2:52
slowly remove the old soil around the base and roots
Rinsing Roots Under Clean Water & Inspecting Root System
3:01
next rinse the plant gently under clean running water
3:05
wash it carefully to remove the old soil
3:08
dirt and any remaining debris from the roots
3:16
this will also allow us to inspect the condition
3:19
of the root system more easily
3:20
before continuing with the next steps
Pruning Damaged Leaves & Air-Drying the Plant
3:31
next use a pair of clean
3:33
pruning Scissors
3:34
to remove any damaged or yellowing leaves
3:40
this helps the plant get rid of unhealthy foliage
3:42
and focus its energy on the remaining healthy parts
3:47
after washing place the plant in a dry
3:50
well ventilated area away from direct sunlight
3:53
and allow it to dry naturally
Straining & Diluting the Onion Solution
4:07
after 1 hour when the onion solution has cooled down
4:11
I will strain out all of the solid pieces
4:17
filter the mixture carefully
4:18
to remove any remaining particles
4:21
and keep only the clear liquid
4:28
next add 500 milliliters of clean water
4:31
to dilute the solution
Soaking Peace Lily Roots in Onion Solution (15 Minutes)
4:36
and that’s it now
4:37
gently place the peace Lily into the solution
4:40
and soak it for approximately 15 minutes
4:45
soaking allows the
4:46
base and roots to come into contact with the solution
4:49
while also providing moisture to the plant
4:51
after the cleaning process
4:54
the natural compounds from the onion
4:56
can be incorporated as part of a simple
4:59
home plant care routine
5:06
after 15 minutes
5:08
gently lift the plant out of the onion solution
Drying Plant Base & Preparing Non-Draining Container
5:14
use a paper towel or a soft cloth
5:17
to gently absorb any excess water remaining
5:19
on the base stems and leaves of the peace Lily
5:27
what problem does your plant
5:28
struggle with the most this season
5:30
share your experience in the comments below
5:33
I’d love to hear your story and help if I can
5:45
now it’s time to repot the plant
5:47
prepare a transparent container
5:49
like the one shown in the video
5:51
this container does not have drainage holes
5:53
so
5:54
we need to control the amount of water very carefully
Repotting Peace Lily in Lightweight LECA Clay Pebbles
5:57
next prepare some leca clay pebbles
5:59
just like in the video
6:02
Leca has a lightweight structure
6:04
with many small air spaces
6:06
helping create a more breathable environment
6:08
around the roots and preventing the growing medium
6:11
from becoming too compact
6:14
first spread a layer of Lisa
6:17
across the bottom of the container
6:27
then place the plant in the center
6:29
and adjust it so that it stands upright
6:31
and the base is positioned correctly
6:36
continue adding leca around and over the roots
6:38
using just enough to secure the plant in place
6:44
do not pack the leca too tightly
6:46
so the roots still have enough space
6:48
for air circulation
6:51
loving these plant care tips like this video
6:54
and subscribe so you never miss our next guide
7:00
and that’s it
7:01
we have now completed the repotting process
7:04
for the peace Lily
7:07
at this Point Place the plant in a dry
7:09
well ventilated location away from direct sunlight
7:13
so it has time to adjust to its new environment
Initial Watering & 3-Day Adaptation Period
7:24
then add a moderate amount of clean water
7:27
to provide moisture around the roots
7:31
because this container does not have drainage holes
7:34
do not add too much water
7:36
use only a small amount and
7:37
avoid allowing water to remain at the bottom
7:39
for too long as this may reduce oxygen around the roots
7:42
and increase the risk of root rot
7:47
after repotting
7:48
allow the plant to rest for approximately three days
7:51
so it can adapt to its new environment
7:53
before continuing with the next care steps
Preparing Ground Rice Powder & Hot Water Extraction
8:02
after three days
8:03
once the plant has had time to stabilize
8:05
let’s prepare another simple solution
8:07
to support the plant during its recovery and growth
8:12
this time the ingredient is rice
8:15
do you have rice at home
8:18
rice contains starch
8:19
along with small amounts of vitamins
8:21
minerals and organic compounds
8:25
when soaked or mixed with water
8:27
some of these components can dissolve
8:29
and be used as a mild organic supplement for plants
8:34
first add 3 tablespoons of rice to a blender
8:45
close the lid
8:46
and blend until the rice becomes a fine powder
8:49
just like in the video
8:54
grinding the rice into smaller particles
8:56
increases its surface area
8:58
helping more of
8:58
its components come into contact with the water
9:13
next place all of the rice powder into a clean
9:16
glass container
9:30
Pour 500 milliliters of hot water into the container
9:33
to help extract some of the
9:35
soluble components from the rice powder
9:41
use a spoon to stir the mixture thoroughly
9:47
finally cover the container
9:48
and let the mixture steep for approximately 1 hour
Straining & Diluting the Rice Water Nutrient Solution
10:05
after 1 hour once the solution has cooled down
10:08
strain out all of the remaining solids
10:16
filter it carefully
10:17
keeping only the liquid and removing any rice particles
10:20
this will help prevent the spray bottle
10:22
from becoming clogged
10:23
or excessive residue from sticking to the leaves
10:44
next add 500 milliliters of clean water
10:48
to dilute the rice solution
10:55
and that’s it we now have a simple rice water solution
10:58
to help care for the plant
11:00
pour the solution into a clean spray bottle
Foliar Spraying Rice Water on Base, Stems & Leaves
11:20
then gently mist a thin layer over the base
11:24
stems and leaves of the plant
11:31
it is best to do this early in the morning
11:33
or in the evening when temperatures are cooler
11:35
avoid spraying the plant under strong direct sunlight
11:43
rice water contains small amounts of organic compounds
11:46
and dissolved minerals which may provide mild
11:49
nutritional
11:50
support during the plant’s recovery and growth
11:57
don’t throw away the remaining solution
11:59
you can also use it to water other ornamental plants
12:02
in your garden
Watering Anthurium & Other Houseplants with Remaining Solution
12:05
here I’m using the remaining
12:07
rice water to water my anthurium plant
12:13
rice water may add a small amount of organic matter
12:15
to the growing medium
12:17
helping support the environment around the roots
12:19
and providing mild nutritional support during growth
12:24
however always use a moderate amount
12:27
and make sure the pot has good drainage
12:29
avoid allowing water to remain
12:31
around the roots for too long
2-Month Results: Lush Green Foliage, New Shoots & Strong Recovery!
12:40
results after approximately 2 months of consistent care
12:44
you will begin to see a noticeable difference
12:49
from a peace Lily that was weak
12:51
slow growing and lacking vitality
12:53
the plant has now started to recover
12:55
and grow more actively
12:59
new leaves have appeared they are greener
13:02
firmer and healthier
13:06
most importantly
13:07
new shoots have started emerging from the base
13:10
showing that the plant is gradually regaining
13:12
its strength and entering a new stage of growth
13:20
once the plant has stabilized
13:21
you can place it in your living room
13:23
near a window or on a balcony with gentle natural light
13:31
simply avoid strong direct sunlight
13:33
and maintain an appropriate level of moisture
13:36
around the roots
13:39
from a peace Lily that once seemed difficult to recover
13:43
it has now become greener
