Splitting Peace Lilly


Question
Is it possible to split a peace lilly like you can with other plants. I gave my sister my peace lilly a while ago and I want it back! I though perhaps we could split it.  Suggestions?

Answer
Kelly,

Yes, you can split a peace lilly.  Just be sure to not go to any larger pot than it was in to begin with. Peace lillies like to be root bound and bloom more if they are. Splitting it will slow it down a bit so after the split each have should get monthly doses of bloom building fertilizer. Try not to damage the roots any more than neecessary. Using 2 forks going down from the top to break it apart might be the best way so you don't cut through roots.  Good luck.
