Thanks lady these plants have been propogating for over 20 yrs next to my driveway and this helps me reduce the chaos without getting absolutly slimed by cutting all the leaves.
Glad I watched this video. Did yard Reno @ 15 yrs ago. Some of AL got separated. I threw them on the ground I wanted to transplant. Didn’t get around to it,except throwing lil dirt on them. & they rooted. Look great❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤One of my favorite plants in PCB, Fl
Excellent video and I especially like the over-the-shoulder camera angle you used when doing the initial dividing. It's an unusual and very helpful way to see exactly how you were doing the division. Two questions; how wide and deep would you dig the hole to replant the divided clumps of the size you wound up with, and how far apart would you plant that size of the divided plants?
I should have watched this before dividing mine earlier today but was quite reassured -although I had to saw through mine and I had trouble getting them out of the pot!
Loved the video. I bought this house 20 + years ago and literally have never done a thing with my agapanthus. Now i have to. Way overgrown, and roots on top of roots just like your video. I cut my leaves back just to see what I have to deal with and to get at the plants. I am not able to use an excavator, which would be ideal and I can not just dig it out because I have no idea where the watering line is and it's grown right up to the edge of the cemented brick edging and over it. MY question is, can I just remove the upper plants that have grown on top? You would just die if you saw my area. I am determined to get it back in control and beautiful again. Thank you
In autumn and winter so that the weather will be cooler and have more rain to help them get reestablished before the summer when they’ll flower. We do this all year round here but they do better in the cooler months
Thank you. We live in a rental property that has a very well established agapanthus garden that is just like this. The last couple of years the flowers have been dismal. Is there a certain time of year that would be best to break it up or just when ever?
My gardener just lopped off all the green leaves on our agapanthus I suppose he thought like many people cut back nile lilies. I am distraught as I dont know how long it will take for the green leaves to re grow. We are outside of Sacramento, CA and normally the leaves stay evergreen year round. Has the gardener killed them?
Yeah but what happens when the frost devastates them and there’s no green top growth - I live in the North of England and are the evergreen type and have been hit hard this winter the the frost and I was unable to put protective fleece over them this year - are they dead ? Thank you 😁
We don’t experience weather like this so it’s hard to tell. I do know that when we dig up our Agapanthus to divide and sell or replant, at times we will witness plants grow from left over roots from where we dug them up (these have no green top growth). That being said, your plants may regrow from the root system once the weather improves but I honestly couldn’t confirm if this will happen. Best of luck
No, don’t dump them. Just dig them up. Divide them into smaller clumps of 4-5singles per clump and pop them into the ground. You can trim the leaves down a bit if they’re a bit scrappy. They’ll flower so much better the next season. I would dig them up and divide them ever few years to maintain them.
I'm in 9b Rockport, Texas, my agapanthus are all dying :( I have regular irrigation with drip tubing so maybe I'm watering too much or not enough. :((((

Fantastic video! Exactly what I needed to watch before tackling the agapanthus clumps in our garden.

Glad we can help. No one wants all that slim 😝

It still surprises me sometimes how they live with minimal effort. Thank you for your comment
I got 1 last week & put in the ground, I think it’s just beautiful! Those big purple balls standing tall ❤️❤️
I needed this video about 10 years ago! You make it look way too easy!
Thank you. That was excellent. I've been wondering how to manage mond for a while. Perfectly explained
Thank you. We are glad to help
Thanks darlin
You’re very welcome

This is quite an education! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very helpful.
Lovely video and very informative, manny thanks!
Excellent tutorial, thanks so much!
You have a nice garden.Your new subscriber from the Philippines.
This is the exact video I needed to see, thank you!!
I should have watched this before dividing mine earlier today but was quite reassured -although I had to saw through mine and I had trouble getting them out of the pot!
@@Plantobsessedjen Thank you for your reply. I did have to break the pot!
VERY good info TY !
You’re most welcome 🙏🏻
Thank you.
You’re very welcome. Thank you for watching
Such a good video, so informative

Thank you!
I just bought 4 now I know to give them very good spacing
Have fun planting
Thank you
You’re most welcome
Very informative. Thank you
Back breaking work I know as I was doing this today. Might make a vid too ☺️
Why dothe leaves get so long? Andcan i cut down the leaves and will they grow back,and thank you,love your teaching.
Is it wise to cut the leaves back when re-planting?
When is the best time to do this?
In autumn and winter so that the weather will be cooler and have more rain to help them get reestablished before the summer when they’ll flower. We do this all year round here but they do better in the cooler months
Your not using a shovel, your using a spade, otherwise a good video
Very good pick up, thank you for the comment
Will the roots left in the ground regrow?
Thank you. We live in a rental property that has a very well established agapanthus garden that is just like this. The last couple of years the flowers have been dismal. Is there a certain time of year that would be best to break it up or just when ever?
Better to do it in the cooler months so they aren’t trying to re establish themselves in extreme heat

How often should agapanthus be divided ? If it’s really old like 20 years or more would you suggest just dumping them?
No, don’t dump them. Just dig them up. Divide them into smaller clumps of 4-5singles per clump and pop them into the ground. You can trim the leaves down a bit if they’re a bit scrappy. They’ll flower so much better the next season. I would dig them up and divide them ever few years to maintain them.
Are you doing this in fall? Does it matter?
Better to do it in the colder months so absolutely.
I'm in 9b Rockport, Texas, my agapanthus are all dying :( I have regular irrigation with drip tubing so maybe I'm watering too much or not enough. :((((
Can this be done at any time of the year or is there a specific season we should wait for?
@@Plantobsessedjen Thank you so much! I'll wait till autumn.
Great vid, thanks. btw, you need a spade not a shovel.
pedantic pete.
Either will work. Not everyone can be bless with choices. Thanks for the comment blessings to you
