Watch This BEFORE Dividing Native Plants (Wild Geranium Demo)

- Опубликовано: 9 мар 2024
- Growing your native plant garden can be so much easier and cheaper when you learn how to make divisions from your perennial plants. This goes for ornamental plants as well, but today we are focusing on Wild Gernium (Geranium maculatum), Aromatic Aster (Symphotrichium oblongifolium), and Pennsilvania Sedge (Carex pensilvanica.) Understanding the root systems of our plants gives us the ability to grow more plants every year.

I love the way you film and edit with humor and detail! Great footage of those roots! Wonderful explanations and I'm glad you rinsed the roots so we could see them well. I need to get braver with dividing plants. I do it some, but I'll be doing it more often with courage after watching this one.
That makes me so happy, thank you so much! 🌱🌱🌱
Very thorough. It's my favorite 'Lisa Loves Plants' video (so far).
Thanks so much!
Thanks for showing us how to dig them up, divide and plant. Very good visual information. ❤
Glad it was helpful! 🌱🌱🌱
Great job, not many RUclipsrs divide, they just plant.
Throughout the video I’ve got a fan fiction running in my head styled as an alien abduction from the plants POV
My wife (non-gardener) darn near poked a hole in my shoulder yelling, "do you see that soil?" LOL! We are SC. I am seriously debating on purchasing a jack hammer! Haha! Nice video! Thank you!
Lol! Well that's what we're known for in the Midwest! Seriously though, about 4" down it's clay suitable for ceramics 😂 Thanks for watching!
I’m so glad I found your videos! Your explanations and illustrations are excellent!!!!
Another fantastic video! I could have watched you divide roots all day 😋. I bought and planted some of the Wild Geranium as bare root last fall and I basically received those small rhizome divisions that you got. Hope they all come up! Also, "Squiddo spaceship" at 4:37 😂
Thank you so much! I think this roots will do great this year! 🌱🌱🌱
Totally fascinating! Great video. Thanks!
“I’m gonna use my favorite garden tool, the steak knife” loooollllll.
Really underrated tool f for dividing plants! 😂🌱🌱🌱
@@lisalikesplants one of my favorite gardening tools is actually a soup spoon 😆
So much great info! 🌼🌻🌼
Thank you so much for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
Great information. I love my wild geraniums and will be dividing them next Spring.
Awesome! Thanks for watching! ☺️
Your videos are amazing!!!! Thank you
That was very helpful, Lisa. I want more Penn Sedge but buying plugs gets expensive. Hopefully mine will be ready to divide next winter. And the camera focus was fine. You do an excellent job of explaining these things.
Thank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful. 🌱🌱🌱
Great information ℹ️ 🎉 thank you 🙏
Thanks so much! 🌱🌱🌱

That was cool! They look weird under there!
Thanks notoots!
That is an amazing video! I love your videos, they sre so clear and real and helpful! The best!! Im new to native gardening and am designing our backyard in all natives. I love wild geranium and love really seeing the plant in your video. Question, your soil looks great, yet you commemted 4 inches under its clay; what did you do? Add top soil, compost, ? Im in Ohio and it is clay, clay, clay. Thank you. So looking forward to your next video!!
Several years ago when we built this fence we did buy some of the cheapest bagged topsoil we could get, to level off the area.
After that we just mulched it for a few years. Maybe some of what you're seeing is decomposed mulch, essentially compost from a few years of mulching. There's black silty clay under this, and it's about 8" until we get to the orange stuff.
The garden soil seems nice but the lawn isn't like this at all, it's compacted and awful to dig up.
Hope this helps! Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
Nice video
Thanks! 🌱🌱🌱
Showing the whole process from digging out to putting the little tykes back in is so helpful. My fav part were the close-ups of teasing the roots apart...there is a bit of nuance there and those meticulous explanations are great. Also appreciate the comparison of the 3 different root systems!
Looking forward to trying this out on my burgeoning native plantings.
Are there genetic diversity trade-offs if propagating by division vs. via seed? If a plant has rhizomes and runners then my assumption is since it's already using a cloning strategy on its own to propagate, then seems natural and shouldn't be an issue. But what about plants that also or mainly self-seed?
Thanks so much! Division gives you a clone, and that gives you less resiliency, but they also seed, so hopefully over time that sort of corrects itself. Unless you have a very large area it shouldn't be a problem to use divisions though. 🌱🌱🌱
....that Geranium plant was a plug just the year before!? Last fall I planted like 6 plugs into my shady boulevard with a bunch of other things...i guess it's going to be filling in quite a bit. 😳
Yup they definitely fill OUT 🌸🌸🌸
@@lisalikesplants that's exciting! I live on a Geranium Ave. So I can't wait to represent the namesake plant!
