I have an indoor peace lily,about six years old.Plant is thriving but there are insects in the soil.?

Take the plant outside and empty it out of the pot - get rid of the soil (and the bugs) and gently hose off all soil from the roots making sure that you get every bug off and any fluffy debris they create in the leaf axles. Wash your pot in hot soapy water and rinse and dry. Re-pot the Lily in fresh bagged compost (mixed with a third of sand or grit if you have it) and it should continue it's long and happy life bug-free. Good luck :-)

I am looking at my peace lily right now that I have had 13 years. Its as big as a kitchen table. You did good by splitting it. Dont worry a bit about it not flowering. It will again. I have always watered mine with WARM water and it blooms all year long. I got this hint from a local Lily and hosta grower. Give it a bit of miracle grow a couple times a month. I disagree with the no light. Mine love indirect sun light. Its quite the conversation plant at my house. Happy lily growing to you.

You may not see them on the plant but they're having a feastday underground on the soil and roots of your plant. I mix a little dish detergent with water and use this when I water. It seems to kill off the larva and wash the eggs down the drain. Your local garden centre will also have insecticides that you can use.

Good Growing!!!

If your plant is doing that well, it would be risky to relocate it to a new pot now. I do that if it looks troubled. You can put Sevin Dust in the pot and bring no harm to the plant but kill any bugs in the pot. It's a light powder sprinkle, and won't hurt people or pets if used in the way I'm telling you about.

My support to you would be.

Cleard the insects out to save d your lilys,or get new soil and cleard the pot.

Kill the insects and let the plant live for now.

re pot it, you should do this every 2 to 3 years any how.
