Plant torture

Is it ok to saw a plant in half so I get two? Yes I know it's out of focus, I didn't check it before potting the plants, I dunno what the camera focused on, but I can't see it in the picture.

Depends on the plant. Some don't care, others do.

I should think that would be fine.

Strange way to carry on. Cannot see picture but often plants can be unpootted the roots divided and replanted separately. Depends very much on the plant. A visit to your local library, identify the plant and do as the book of words advises. Brian

Do they still have local library's Brian and do people still actually use them (other than for a warm up or to get on the Internet)?

I don't think I've been in a library more than a few times in my life (and even then they didn't have the workshop manuals I wanted) and not at all since I had access to the Internet! ;-)

Yes they still do have local libraries, or maybe you think that every local library has a Brian.

Yes - its fine - you need to do it with a horizontal cut straight into two - one of them green - the other one dirty like earth.

Not sure what you mean by that. I cut straight down through the middle.

read the instructions, don't panic: Get a bigger hammer!

You should wet the pot and then turn it upsid down so it falls out but catc h it on the slide then just pull it apart as many pieces as toy want. Do yo u know it will survive a cold winter in a pot. Putting it in the ground und er a little much might offer better frost proofing.

It's an indoor plant, frost isn't a problem.
