Root Division
Method of Propogation
What is root division?
Root division requires the plant's roots to be divided up and replanted. This method of propagation works best on a limited number of multiple-stemmed plants.
Materials
For root division, one would need a garden spade, water, and a small garden fork/ knife.
Steps to Root Division
Access Roots
Dig up your desired plant using a garden spade. Make sure you're digging up the entire root ball. Use water to wash off some of the dirt in order to get clear visibility of the roots.
Divide
Use a small garden fork/ knife, of your hands to separate the plant and roots. Make sure each section has a healthy amount of root attached.
Replant
Place the plant and it's root base back into the ground. Continue cultivating!
