Division Dos and Don’ts for Healthy Plants

1. Divide plants in early spring or fall when they are not actively growing to minimize stress. 2. Water plants well before dividing to make the process easier and reduce transplant shock. 3. Use a sharp knife or spade to divide plants into sections with healthy roots and shoots. 4. Plant divided sections at the same depth as before and water thoroughly to help them establish. 5. Mulch around newly divided plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
