Division

29-7-09
Activities: During the year we have done a few occasions we have done a propagation process called division. This is where a plant is split into 2 or more pieces all of which the roots are still attatched. This method is quite easy and simply involves getting a spade or trowel or even secatears and driving it through the clump until it is divided. You can do this several times depending on how many clumps you want. For example I used the divison propagation method on a large clump of Poa Labillardieri. This was divided into at least a dozen smaller clumps and planted straight into the ground at home. With division you can plant the new plants straght into the ground or pot them up.
