Divide plants
Tip from the test garden
Clumping perennials in containers – such as agapanthus – can become crowded.
Step 1: Gently ease the plant out of its container.
Step 2: Using a sharp tool, slice the plant into roughly equal sections, each with roots attached. Keep healthy sections only; discard the rest.
Step 3: Replant each section with fresh potting soil in its own container.
