Share Bow Hemp - That's how it's done
Bogenhanf (Sansevieria) is a low maintenance, visually very interesting houseplant. The exotic greenhouse becomes an eye-catcher in the apartment with its long (up to 150 centimeters depending on the species and variety!) And glossy leaves. Although bow hemp grows very slowly and requires many years to reach its maximum growth even with good care, then large plants can be easily increased by division.
The best time to share bow hemp
The hemp can be increased both by leaf cuttings and, especially in older and thus larger copies, by division. Since the plant forms offshoots and daughter rosettes, the last form of duplication is naturally very easy. In principle, a division is possible in every season, however, the spring is best suited to this. When the temperatures rise and the solar radiation intensifies again, the bow hemp grows stronger. In addition, it makes sense to divide in the course of the annual potting. This saves the plant multiple stress due to frequent insertion and extraction.
Which pot size is the right one?
Sansevieria have fine roots, depending on the individual specimen more or less thick rhizomes and generally not too pronounced root ball. Therefore you should not use a tall, slender pot for bow hemp - this would soon tip over, as the plant becomes top-heavy with age. Instead, choose a wider planter, but not much wider than the root ball itself. Sansevierien feel better in narrower vessels.
