HELICONIA ROSTRATA HANGING Lobster Rhizome Live Plante Roots
Heliconia rostrata are clump-forming perennials that are easy to propagate by division of their rhizomes. Do this in the spring, just as new shoots emerge. This helps to control the spread of these fast-growers, retain the health of the parent plant, and make new pass-along plants. Follow the steps below to divide your heliconia rostrata.
- Dig around the clump with care to remove the plant from the ground. Try not to cut into any rhizomes.
- Gently remove excess soil from the rhizomes (shake and then hose with water) to allow you to decide where and how many divisions you will make. This varies depending on the size of the plant and the number of stems.
- Gently separate the individual rhizomes, taking care not to break any as you work.Remove any diseased or dying rhizomes.
- Break up the clump using a sharp, sterile garden knife. Make sure each division has sufficient healthy rhizomes attached.
- Replant the divisions, ensuring they receive adequate light, shelter, and moisture. Continue to water regularly while you wait for signs of new growth.
