so recently my father shoved my peace lily into a corner, and since then (about a week) it's been leaning harshly to one side and idk what to do. This plant is my pride and joy, it's stood straight since i bought it and the amount of soil was never a problem before this. Also, it seems to need water more frequently than it used to since the whole encounter. I literally have no idea what to do and would appreciate some help because i can find answers anywhere else.

1 don’t panic
2 stop wiggling it
3 locate it somewhere it won’t can’t move for 3 months. Away from heat source but near natural light.
4 possibly pot it up, slightly deeper in the new pot,
5 keep it regularly watered, but let it nearly dry out between watering.
6 review in 3 months (it might be better/healed)
Same thing happened to my aloe plant. I stabilized it with rocks
Are you also doing the windmill to show your doctor you broke your arm?
Try twisting it š
Or, stake it until it establishes a more secure root system. Might take a few months if it gets plenty of sunlight.
Some roots might have broken off or just been shifted, thereās no need to panic just stabilize it and leave it alone
Re-pot it. Plants need to be given new soil with nutrients periodically because they absorb it out of the soil. It also doesnāt even look like a peace lily to me. I canāt see the whole plant but looks more like a bromeliad to me.
careful, if you keep spinning it ur plant will start singing Right Round by Flo Rida
Stop wiggling it. At some soil and pack it down some. Then put it up somewhere where it won’t move around much so it can heal.
I would unpot it and check for **root rot** personally, especially because you said āit needs water more frequentlyā.
I suspect it has root rot and can no longer absorb nutrientsā¦ which can look like dehydration because well there are no more roots to absorb anything, and will cause the **plant to become unstable like this because it no longer had the roots to āanchorā it in place** .
Stop doing thatā¦
Why are we moving it like that? šµāš«
Depending on how deep. Very carefully, remove it, shake off the dry dirt. From here, it depends on the root you have. You could report it and bring loose moist dirt ~3/4ā up into the green. This gives it strength in the dirt( allbeit not much) and it will protect the roots and allow them to strengthen and grow.
Be careful removing the plant and cleaning the roots. Just a little shake should clear them. Also talk to the little guy, assurance. No more spinning.
watching this gave me anxiety
Not that
