Thank you for being relatable. I enjoyed your video.
Heya! I have mine started from seed. Each plant is about 5 inches tall right now. Will they divide and conquer this year? Or the next?
How cute are you?? Thanks so much!
Thanks. I should have watched this video YESTERDAY before I divided a blooming Canna.
Thank you for doing this in 3 min not 25 like others.
need a better camera person that keeps the plant in frame
Great video! I live in a cold climate, short summers, and took my cannas in for the winter. Now it is spring and the leaves have started to grow about 6 inches. I would like to divide them into 2 pots. If I cut off the new green growth, will it come back soon or should I leave the green growth and just divide them? Thank you for your help!
Would this be the same for Calla lilies?
Much appreciated. Got a big old canna that is in desperate need of splitting so this has made it a whole lot easier.
Thank you so much
woooooooooooooooooooooooow been searching for an indepth tutorial….yours is the best by far!!! thank you so much……. need to go replant now. Thanks again
Immediately you know this woman knows plants, and this plant. Making a mess is 1/2 or more the fun. Hacking plants, its a 'if it doesn't kill it, it makes it stronger', she knows what she's talking about. Didn't know they loved to be crowded, but agree congested looks better for a year. Peat moss is a distaster, please don't use peat. It's eco-footprint (travel to markets, tools/heavy equipment used to harvest, etc.) is a nightmare, and destroys Canadian peat bogs.
You’re the cutest
BEST canna transplant video I've found. Thank you for doing more than standing by the plant ;). I'll shake, shake, shake that dirt off!
She knows what she's talking bout! Love it
So I noticed if you don't divide them after they grow into those big clumps the flowering process is slow so you have to get out there and divide them
Shake it like a salt shaker girlfriend!!
Just the info I was looking for. But warn me next time you take a scissor and just cut them like that, my heart traveled up my throat and back when you cut them so unceremoniously, lol.
Thank you! You totally answered my questions on dividing them in warm climates. In Florida, my plants have outgrown their container and yet, they're always blooming. I was afraid to divide them. Fear no more.
So helpful thanks
Are these the same as Calla Lillies?
good vid..loved the shake shimmy dance
Thank you so much! your videos have helped me to become a better gardner.
How do I tell if I have a Canna or Calla Lily and can I divide both please?
Shake it girl!
