Question
I have repoted an asparagus fern and there are hundreds of tubers on root like strings.  Can these tubers be repoted for new plants?

Answer
JC,

Hello - my plant wasn't looking too great so first I cut it way back to a manageable size, then took it out of the pot and cut the very root bound root ball into quarters with a serrated carving knife. I potted up the sections separately. I gave 3 of them away, kept mine for about another year and then gave that away - I just don't have a lot of luck with them, and they are too messy, all the shed leaves and all. But, they are tough and mine all did well even with the fairly rough dividing and repotting.

I really am not sure if the individual tubers will do anything but it is worth a try. You will need to figure out which end went toward the plant and which end went toward the roots. You need to put it in a pot of soil oriented the same way. The growing tip needs to be slightly above the surface. Keep the plant lightly moist, not wet or your tubers are going to rot. Let me know how it goes. Good luck.
