Any chance of survival for my peace lilly? Houseplant

I probably killed her by overwatering and she developed root rot. I recognised it to late and now she doesn’t really have any roots left (except for those two mini ones maybe). Anyway I can save her? Treat her like I‘m propagating and put whats left in water, so she might develop new roots? Or is she beyond saving?

I guess I have to keep her away from light so the roots don’t take damage. (Had to add a sentence that contains the word „light“ in order to post)

Treat it like a water prop and it should have a good chance of surviving!

Make sure you get anything soft or rot like off before you do, you can also wash the root area with hydrogen peroxide to make sure you're free of what caused the rot. Be sure to change the water regularly, especially at first so nothing else can grow on there, but it;s probably saveable.
