You must first understand the basic concept to canna growth and reproduction. Cannas grow and multiply from rhizome growth and not bulb or bulblet production. The underground modified stem (rhizome) develops shortly after the seed germinates. It is directly attached to the base of the seedling. All future growth depends on the rhizome growth. The underground stems that grow from the seedling will continue to produce additional flowering stalks throughout the growing season.

Seasoned growers quickly learn that it is necessary to provide plenty of growing space for each seedling transplanted. Typically we allow 14 to 18 inches between each seedling to prevent overcrowding.

Do not attempt to divide your seedling at this time. You may need to transplant them to provide more room for each plant.
