In the spring, take a spade and chop off a piece, then pot it up. Sometimes I find that a piece is ready to break off on its own, so I pot that up. My Gunnera is a mature plant, though.

some of them you can dig up and just use your fingers to gently tease them apart to .

Some need to be pried apart with two garden forks!

What, Gunneras, Leigh/Tug? No way! Mine is a solid mass - I couldn't use either of your methods on it!

(I'm assuming here that Paul is asking about Gunneras as he's asked from the 'Gunneras' page.)

when you get very young ones spritz that have to growing tips you can pul them apart not when there huge lol .

Well, mine is a very mature one, Leigh, and I certainly couldn't. I obviously haven't tried with a young plant. Interesting!

yes definatly a spade or bread knife for a mature one spritz x .
