How to split a Japanese Peace Lily

A Japanese Peace Lily is a very easy to grow indoor plant and in the correct, partially shaded position, will grow quickly.

Instead of regular repotting the plant can be split fairly easily.

1. Remove plant from it’s pot.
2. Examine the plant’s stems – each stem is effectively a different plant and can be split at this point. A healthy peace lily could be split in to twenty separate plants, although you may choose to keep several together.
3. Gently force the stems apart, ensuring the roots are separated without too much damage – a sharp knife can be used if necessary.
4. Replant each stem, or group of stems into a new pot with fresh compost. Do not feed the plants until new growth is observed.
