And if you're looking for ways to save money, horticulurist's suggest buying just one pot and then turn that plant into two or three and so on. Plant division is an easy and cheap way to turn one plant into two. The process is ideal for plants that have bulbs. OSU's Extension horticulturist shows us how to make one pot of ornamental grass into two pots.
Horticulturists say plants that can easily be divided are irises, green onions or chives.
For a list of other plants that are ideal for plant division, call OSU's Extension Center. Tomorrow on Common Cents, we'll show you how to grow a whole new plant by taking a cut from an existing plant.
