Thanks for the tips about planting plants. We just remodeled our whole back deck and yard. Everything is new, from the mulch to the patio furniture to the deck. Now, I wanted to include some potted plants on the new deck but wasn’t really sure what I wanted. I’ll be sure to use your tips when I am planting!

When splitting them apart you will find that they are unable to support themselves very after being transplanted, so I would put some support such as chopsticks or wooden spoons which are loosely attached by wire, or you can also put pine colds on top of the soil.

Do you discourage us from clearing the tangle of the root-ball by rinsing with water? Just seems like it might be more gentle.

Oh the Lilly! Is another example, along with the bulb, the perennial and some biannual, that can ensure your garden looks great in any season.

Thank you so much for this detailed information. I have a Peace lily form my husbands funeral and in the year that I have had it, it has grown to be huge! I have wanted to split it up and maybe pass some of it alone to family as a tribute to my husband but I was terrified I would do it wrong and kill it. I am going to get the supplies and try to do it in a few days. Thanks again!

What type of soil should I use?

Sounds good. The greenhouse is quite good, does an alright job.

Just make sure to weight the bottom down with a couple of bricks or some compost bags. Mine nearly became a kite the first night left out.

If she wants she can have some of my excess chilli seedlings. To get her started.

Not very long at all I accidentally cut an extra growth off, which would have eventually been and turned the air a little bluer than usual.

Mum is more yellow fingered than anything else, she takes good care of the plants but more often than not, she’ll completely forget about watering them and they’ll dry up on her. She’s looking to pick up one of those greenhouses you posted a while back though, so hopefully she can start up some form of herb patch on the balcony.

As always a nice post. How long into the splitting process before your language become colourful?

It’s nice that your mum is getting into it as well, green fingers run in the family?
