windeindoiel Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Ok so some plants you can just cut the top off and replant it, and java fern it seems you can just pull off the leaves and they'll grow new plants. But what about rhizome plants? How do you seperate those? My bolbitis is growing like crazy and I'd like to try to seperate it and maybe sell it off. (So if this works and anyone wants one of these plants I may have some pretty soon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 You can just split the horizontal rhizome by cutting it into desired pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 I just think of a rhizome as an horizontal stem. As long as it has at least 1 leaf in a section, you're good to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, and cutting or breaking it (especially if it already has a division in the rhizome) is the way to go. This is also the way to propagate Anubias ssp.
