However, that is not the only form of plant propagation. One of the many ways to do it is division &#8211; <strong>plant parts are separated from the parent plant and replanted<\/strong>. Division is one of the most fundamental techniques for vegetative propagation, making it a preferred method for many amateur gardeners and new plant enthusiasts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What Types of Plants Can Be Divided? In short, most of the house plants can be propagated by this method. Later, you will read about it in more detailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This method has quite a few benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>As mentioned earlier, it is <strong>extremely cheap, basically free,<\/strong> and can be performed by everyone, even people who don\u2019t have a natural talent for gardening. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On top of this, propagation by division will help add a plant to your collection that is by all means identical to the original one. This means that you can easily create one or more clones of your unique or rare plants, following this technique.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Many plants benefit from this treatment and especially old or overgrown ones<\/strong> will be more than happy to receive a friendly trim. This may even lead them to produce new growth or flowering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, this all sounds great, but from where do we start? Before getting our scissors and new pots, it\u2019s important to understand whether your plant is suitable for a plant propagation division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What plants can be propagated by division?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to what most people think, plenty of plants can be propagated by division. For instance, herbaceous plants often respond extremely well to this treatment. These are the ones without stems that tend to die in the winter, even though their underground parts, such as roots or bulbs, may survive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plantpropagation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/propagation-division.jpg\" alt=\"propagation division\" class=\"wp-image-1545\" width=\"512\" height=\"360\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plantpropagation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/propagation-division.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/plantpropagation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/propagation-division-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/plantpropagation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/propagation-division-768x540.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some good examples are <strong>hostas<\/strong> and <strong>daylilies<\/strong> as well as ornamental grasses such as <strong>blue fescue<\/strong>, <strong>Mexican feather grass<\/strong>, and <strong>Japanese forest grass<\/strong>, all of which are the ideal division plant propagation type. You can also use this method to multiply your perennial flowers, such as <strong>daisies, peonies, and irises<\/strong>, as well as edible plants ranging from <strong>spinach<\/strong> to <strong>asparagus<\/strong>, and <strong>rhubarb<\/strong> to increase your harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/plantpropagation.com\/everything-about-the-blackberry-plant\/\">Blackberry<\/a> suckers<\/strong> and <strong>strawberry runners<\/strong> are two other examples of parts that can be cut from the original plant and sown right away. As an alternative, sections that have not yet developed roots, such as tulip bulblets and hen-and-chicken offsets, may be simply separated from the parent plant. That is especially true near the end of the growing season. You could state the same for some forms of cutting &#8211; for example,<strong> cannas, rhubarb, and numerous herbaceous perennials<\/strong>. Sections are cut or pulled from the main clump of roots and crown and then used to give life to a new individual plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shrubs and trees can also be propagated by division, but performing this technique on this type of plant may be slightly trickier, so you will need to be a bit more experienced. In this case, <strong>you will need a sharp knife, or even a saw,<\/strong> to cut the plant into smaller sections to then replant them in the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some more division propagation examples so you can get an idea of how to treat each one of your plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:37% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/plantpropagation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/how-to-propagate-a-swiss-cheese-plant-1024x691.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1602 size-full\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plantpropagation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/how-to-propagate-a-swiss-cheese-plant-1024x691.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/plantpropagation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/how-to-propagate-a-swiss-cheese-plant-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/plantpropagation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/how-to-propagate-a-swiss-cheese-plant-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/plantpropagation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/how-to-propagate-a-swiss-cheese-plant.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Swiss Cheese plant<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/plantpropagation.com\/how-to-propagate-a-swiss-cheese-plant-2023\">Swiss Cheese<\/a> plants, whose official name is Monstera Deliciosa, are a popular indoor choice for those who want to add a little \u2018jungle touch\u2019 to their house.

You should plant the separated plant parts right away. Or you could <strong>dig up the clumps<\/strong>, separate them with your hands and use the help of a knife to cut them up &#8211; this is considered a finer technique. Thin branches, also called stolons, naturally take root after being split apart and can be used in other division methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crowns or rooted buds that emerge from the soil at the end of the growing season and push forward are frequently cut off and replanted. The underground branches&#8217; short, thicker tubers are separated from the main stems and clumps and then planted individually. And the bulblets that grow in the leaf axils of Tiger Lilies and other similar varieties, as well as the fronds of certain ferns, are even more specialized examples of division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to division&#8217;s simple nature and many possibilities, it&#8217;s no wonder why it&#8217;s people&#8217;s go-to form of plant propagation. It is definitely a method we&#8217;d recommend for newbies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The tools you need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" src=\"https:\/\/plantpropagation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/division-propagation-tools.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2125\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plantpropagation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/division-propagation-tools.jpg 780w, https:\/\/plantpropagation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/division-propagation-tools-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/plantpropagation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/division-propagation-tools-768x431.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest benefits of propagation by division is that you will only need basic tools to perform it. If you\u2019re trying to propagate small plants such as perennial flowers or edible plants, all you will need is a <strong>sharp knife<\/strong> or <strong>some garden scissors<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For big plants, you may need some extra tools, even though you probably already have these at home. In particular, you will need <strong>pruning shears, a spade, and a garden fork<\/strong>. These can be used to dig out your plant from the soil and divide it into smaller sections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A quick reminder,\u00a0 always make sure to clean your tools with a disinfectant both before and after use to prevent parasites from spreading in your garden.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Divide and Propagate Plants?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the timing is more important than the tools, but in terms of the health of the plant, it could be crucial when we start the process. The best season for diving is certainly Fall and Spring. However, we recommend you to propagate during Fall, since there is much more work to do during Spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group giveItARead is-horizontal is-content-justification-space-between is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Give it a read<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image readArrow\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plantpropagation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Group-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-228\" style=\"width:25px;height:25px\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"postLink has-text-color\" style=\"color:#285c26\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step-by-step instructions for dividing different types of plants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we mentioned above, different plants require different division techniques. This is why we decided to include some step-by-step instructions for you to propagate any plant in your collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Perennials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perennials should be propagated when they are dormant or just about to start growing. This period is often either in the spring or fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>A good tip to follow is to water them the day before propagation. In this way, you will make sure to have moist soil making it easier for you to pull your plant out the next day. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can now use a garden fork or a spade to get your plant out of the soil. Always be extra careful not to damage the roots but don\u2019t worry too much if you end up breaking a few. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can now separate your clump into smaller sections either by using your hands or a sharp knife. Remember, each one should have a healthy root system and shoots. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plant your sections into new pots with fresh soil and here you are, you have a few extra plants!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grasses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Grasses are probably the easiest plants to propagate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>As usual, we can start by pulling out your plant from the soil using a garden fork or spade. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean the root system so you can have a clear view and simply decide where to cut. As with perennials, make sure each cut has healthy roots and shoots. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can now replant your grasses into new pots.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bulbs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The technique is slightly different when it comes to bulbs but still extremely easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Take out your plant from the ground and meticulously clean your bulb from the soil. You will soon see several separate bulblets next to the mother bulb. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carefully divide them as usual, making sure each of them has a healthy root system and shoots. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can now replant them and enjoy your new plants.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-285c3976-2a7c-42a2-b059-695e05dd6605\" data-mobilecollapse=\"false\" data-desktopcollapse=\"false\">\n\n<div style=\"border-color:#f1f1f1\" class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-panel wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-\"><div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title-wrap\" style=\"background-color:#f1f1f1\"><span class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title\" style=\"color:#000000\"><strong>When is the best time to divide plants?<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-state-indicator dashicons dashicons-arrow-right-alt2 open\"><\/span><\/div><div style=\"height:;padding-top:;padding-bottom:\" class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-content-wrap\">\n<p>This largely depends on the plant you decide to propagate.
