Bergenia should be shared after flowering
Sharing Bergenien - time and approach
With their large leaves they are reminiscent of lettuce plants, with their numerous, bell-shaped flowers they evoke associations with lungwort - we are talking about Bergenien. Falling in love with her is not uncommon. As a result, the reproduction is close, with the division of the plant is the most recommended.
The right time to share
After the flowering of the Bergenie, the perfect time has come to share it. This is the case in summer to fall. The ground should still be loose and not frosty.
Most optimally, the period between mid-September and early October is suitable for the division. In the midsummer, the shared specimens would need a lot of water to grow, which is why early autumn is preferable.
Precise procedure in step-by-step instructions
Only share healthy plants and if the soil is moist! Proceed as follows:
Each section that was created by the division should have a few leaves. Also, be careful not to hurt the fine roots too much! Remove old, brown or bent leaves and immerse the individual specimens in lukewarm water!
Plant in a new place

Sharing - not just for multiplying
The division of the Bergenie should be carried out every 4 to 5 years. Here, not only the plant can be propagated. The mother plant is simultaneously rejuvenated by this procedure. In addition, it can be transplanted to another location.
Tips
Before the Bergenie is split, it should be cut down. Sharing will then work much easier and the plant will be hampered by overly long flower stalks and co during rooting.
