Split A Bird Of Paradise

Question

I have a bird of paradise that is completely separated down to the soil–but is one plant. Do I have to remove this, now large, plant from its pot to split it, or can I remove some of the soil around the smaller section and remove that part of the plant–even if I have to cut some of the root to to it?

Answer 1

You can do either. Whichever is easier. Through, removing the entire root ball will allow you to refresh the soil. Both options are viable.
