Separating
[edit | edit source]Often, shop-bought peace lilies will actually contain a number of individual plants with the intention to make it appear bushier. One can separate out these individual plants to encourage and support future growth.
To separate plants in a single pot:
- Water a day or two ahead of separating.
- Carefully remove soil from around the root system. Attempt to remove as much soil as possible as putting plants in new compost will afford them new nutrients. You can use warm water to soak the soil if nessecary (avoid cold water to prevent transplant shock).
- Methodically separate roots, avoiding tearing if possible. Try to keep roots in the air for as little time as possible.
- Place the plants in new pots containing fresh compost or potting soil. Spread out the roots to help anchor the plant.
