At some point you may want to divide your colony of Jovibarba. This tutorial will show you how easy it is.

Whether you are dividing for plant health, planting in other locations, or sharing/trading with someone, you will likely divide your Jovibarba sooner or later.


It is a very simple process that requires washing the plant you just dug up, and a very sharp knife. Once the dirt is washed away, find a place where you can see a separation between rosettes growing from the thick root and crown of the plant. Insert the point of your knife and cut between the rosettes, down through the crown and root.
You should have both a crown and healthy roots with each rosette. Let them rest in a dry location until the wound heals over, usually a few days to a week, then plant.
