Spring is the best time to divide and repot houseplants. As March and
April's days get longer and light levels intensify, indoor plants begin a
growth spurt.
.
Plants that benefit from dividing include Boston fern, snake plant, peace
lily, cast-iron plant, spider plant and aloe vera. Multiple shoots arise
from a "crown" where stems meet roots.
.
How often should plants be divided? When their growth has multiplied
outward, touching the edge of the pot, leaving very little soil that isn't
packed with roots. Such plants can be repotted into larger pots without
dividing, but increasing pot size can't continue indefinitely. Plants
whose centers have become sparse, with all nice growth on the perimeter
can be refigured by dividing and replanting the vigorous parts. Dividing
is also a way to multiply plants when you'd like a few more.
.
Begin by choosing a container and soil. Plastic pots are more common, but
old fashioned unglazed clay pots breathe and are more forgiving of
overwatering. Always soak new clay pots in water for several hours before
using. Cheap potting soils that feel heavy in the bag are a poor buy
because plants won't grow as well. Top quality mixes are light, high in
peat moss and aggregate, and drain well. Miracle Gro Potting Mix and mixes
recommended by locally owned garden centers perform well.
