Can I split a peace lily?
I have a lovely peace lily but it's got too big for it's pot can it be split to make it smaller or will this harm it?

Yes, you can split a peace lilly. Just be sure to not go to any larger pot than it was in to begin with. Peace lillies like to be root bound and bloom more if they are. Splitting it will slow it down a bit so after the split each have should get monthly doses of bloom building fertilizer. Try not to damage the roots any more than neecessary. Using 2 forks going down from the top to break it apart might be the best way so you don't cut through roots. Good luck....(Answered by mick shaw) |

I work with a lot of plants and the first thing I tell people when they get a new plant from a store is to repot it.

They're a kind of plant, that grows in ponds. What determines if anything will stay afloat, is its density, compared to the density of water (1 g/cm^3). So, if the total mass of the frog and the lily pad, divided by their total volume, is less than that of the pond water, they'll stay afloat. Imagine (or actually do it, if you want) a tub filled with water, with a paper plate floating on it. You could add a certain amount of matter to the plate, before it would sink. Same principle....(Answered by Master Maverick) |
