Plant Propagation

kniphofia

21 years ago

I have some kniphofia that is a few years old. It has just finished blooming and seems to have little side plants coming off the flower stalk. Has anyone ever tried to root these? I was thinking of trying air layering but I don't know if the stalk will remain alive long enough since the flower has finished blooming. I'll try to post a pic so you can see what I'm talking about.

hey there klj,
I think it best to wait until the plant goes dormant and divide right before your growing season starts, next year. Last year I divided about 20 of these plants in Feb.out here in calif.
