Hello garden folk,
I'm a newcomer to this forum, located in Australia, and I'm seeking advice on how to go about repotting my Hippeastrums which have developed over the years from a single bulb into a large clump of bulbs (25 I think), many of them are between 4" to 5" in diameter. I need to do something about them this winter when they are dormant because they've reached the stage of deforming the shape of the large pot they've always been in.
I need to know how best to remove them from the pot without damage and how to seperate the bulbs into two or more smaller clumps?
Also before replanting, do I try to untangle their roots and leave them attached, or can I just cut the roots away from the bulbs? Can anyone give me advice please? I love my 'Hippies' and would hate to lose any of the bulbs through ignorance.
Thanks,
