Speaking of this, I recently came across a random patch of grass in one of my pots, it was variegated. It caught me by surprise because nobody around has any ornamental grasses. And seems to be a local variety. Meaning, I sprouted a random mutant. I love this stuff!
Would love to see more of these types of videos. I enjoy gardening of all sorts; flowers, bonsai, houseplants, cactus, planted aquariums, ect. It's quite fascinating to see them flourish and their many different "temperaments". Great shirt by the way!
Awesome! Thank you, Peter. I have 2 really big clumps of clivia, both have like 20 flowers each spring, they are in need of repotting and now I know I can reduce them to make them healthier and also I will have gifts for my friends and family. Thank you again for sharing this video!
Looks like a pot of Clivia Spaghetti. I used to work for a bulb company that sold them back in the late 80's. I remember them being expensive plants. Yellow was very rare back then if I am correct, big dollars. Beautiful plant and flowers.
Thanks Peter, I have some massive Clivia clumps in the Horticultural Centre at Wythenshawe Park, Manchester. I will now embark on a Clivia division workshop with my volunteers.
I did this recently with my spider plants. I never knew they divided into new plants, AND sprouted plant pot ready "babies" on long tendrils. Plants have become very fascinating!
Coincidentally, I did that yesterday, too!! What a suprise to see you do it, too :) I repotted the big plant in our company, it was like yours, but I did it more radical. I just left the mother plant, because we don't need the other seedlings. For the compost I mixed some sowing soil with normal potting soil, so the soil will not easy dry out and I leave more leaves, but I think it will survive.
Really enjoyed this video, I’d probably end up watching the videos about other plants and gardening more than the bonsai videos. My trees are that slow growing I just forget about them and just focus on my orchids. ✌️🐝
Mr.Chan, in one of the previous videos You showed us some unusual species for bonsai, (eg, full moon maple, liquidambar, ..), so I'm wondering if there could be a few words about it in one of the following videos.Thanks..
Usually with plants that grow in clumps, like irises etc., you just take a sharp spade and chop them while they are still in the ground. Hostas as well.
Such a timely video for me! I have a 30 year old Clivia that hasn’t been repotted in more than 5 years. I must be waiting for it to crack the pot it is in.
If I do try to divide rootsystems of many plants growing in a pot, I do use a large bucket filled with water, next I do move the plant roots up and down many times in the water while pushing the plants softly appart. The roots will most stay intact after the plant roots where seperated. I saw another video, someone did cut the roots between the plants, next they did cut the leaves in half so the roots left can support the leaves and the plant can grow back till flowering.
hello. I saw a short video clip on propagating a Clovia plant from a leaf. I’m trying to learn how to do that. In water in earth? Have you tried that or are you aware of doing that that way. I enjoyed watching this video of your dividing a plant. Mine is quite big. It’s about six years old. We took it apart like you’ve done that there in the video but only took out the baby and one small section. I didn’t want to set it back too far. But my question now is as the plant is growing and the bottom leaves come off. It leaves a stock. What do you do with that? Can I plant the plant further down in the dirt, the next time I transplant it?
Hi sir, i actually find your videos very interesting and useful. I recently planted a ficus bonsai and wired it after that, but i noticed that now its leaves are a little wilted, but the water is proper. what should i do? im a beginner.... Plus 15 th comment!!!
Anything to do with plants is great Peter. watching this at 3:30 am, love the sound of those birds singing Thanks Peter.
Thank You for sharing Peter. I could watch you plant crab grass and you would make it interesting!

There's the proof of Peter's love for plants and gardening, not just for bonsai apparently. Keep em coming Peter 👍.
great to hear a little about and see some of your other gardening activities
I HAVE VERY OLD ONE. THE FLOWERS ARE BEAUTIFUL. GREAT VIDEO PETER.

Would like to see more of these. My love is gardening too, Bonsai is a part of it.
When you've worked with Bonsai so long, that looks to you like a deep pot 😉

Peter teased the roots, by calling them fleshy and noodly 😄
Serious shade.
I love Clivias. I have a lot of them.
Wow, that was different! I love clivias ;)
So good to see this. Clivia make beautiful house plants too.
Nice Peter, thanks for sharing. I do something similar with my orchids 🪴👍🇦🇺
Loved the simplicity and science
The more videos you make the more I watch. 🙂

Eagerly waiting to see your webinar on saturday . 💚

Another great lesson from the master
Gardening is as beautiful as bonsai! Interesting video of a plant that I ignored, thank you

I dont want to risk it with this plant

Informative and inspiring.

How to get more plants.
Step one: plant
Step two: water
Step three: wait
Step four: pull apart
Step five: repeat
Plants are amazing!
I bet Peter enjoys the Chelsea flower shows.
Great video!!- When will the new Bonsai Master Class book be out??
My dude really be out here untangling a whole-ass bowl of udon noodles
Without breaking any!
Useful vid:-)
Thanks Peter.
Can you advise me , mine has stoped flowering they are very old in the grown . Thank you
Put high P and K fertiliser
Love!
I have a bunch of pots of clivia. I like them. But, are they invasive or grow too big if planted in the ground?
Not in the UK, they won't survive the winter.
Grows and looks a lot like orchid plants.

I just found some of these in my front yard I'm going to transfer to a different part of my yard
mmm udon noodles, delicious!
👏👏👏
Can the same rules apply to an agapanthus?
Can I grow them in the UK in the ground
those are some extreme measures. hows that plant doing now
ohh the nebari need some more years on that plant
👍
🌱
🔥😍👌👍
Please make a video on citrus trees
Not so relevant to UK, it's an indoor species here.
loot very biggest turning management natural geography beautiful 🌷doing time 🌷out management beautiful color middle aged 🥰😍
Water lilies are the same way you could pull apart the plants and get multiple plants but the root are very strong
it is named after charlotte ('nee clive) percy so it should be pronounced-- Cl-eye-vee-ah- a brit should know that-
Good to know that - thanks
propgating, propogating … prapogating ? :)
Being a Clivia lover I cringed while you wrangled that poor plant around😞
