Commercial Floriculture

Division

• The bird-of-paradise can also be propagated by division.
• This method will produce mature, flowering plants in one to two years. 
• For best results, divide clumps during late spring or early summer.
• Dig up and separate old clumps, dividing those with four to five shoots into single-stem divisions.
• Plant divisions at the same soil depth at which they were previously grown.
• Keep the soil moist until roots are established (at least three months),
• Then begin fertilizing.
