A mature bird of paradise plant can be divided into two or even three parts, so you'll have a few extra plants to keep or give to your friends. Carefully remove the plant from the pot, making sure not to damage the roots. You may need to use a spatula or another tool to help you remove the root ball. You'll see smaller shoots coming off of the main stem or trunk. Follow them down to the attached roots and carefully untangle the roots so you can separate the plant into two or three parts. A bit of root damage will be inevitable, but try to cause as little as possible. You may need to use a knife to help you complete the separation. Cut off roots that get bent or damaged once the plants are separate. A clean cut is better than a tear. This step is not completely necessary, but it can help to increase the chance that the new cuttings will survive and grow into healthy plants. You can find rooting hormone at any garden center. Follow the directions on the product's package to lightly dust the ends of the roots with rooting hormone. Remember to choose a rich, well-draining potting soil, and fill each pot to within a few inches of the rim. Plant each cutting in the center of a separate pot. This gives the cut roots time to form a light protective seal, which will keep them from getting waterlogged when you water. After two or three days, care for the plants as instructed above.

Summary: Remove the plant from the pot. Carefully separate the plant where it naturally divides. Dust the roots with a rooting hormone. Re-pot the sections in rich potting soil. Wait two to three days before watering.

If there is something wrong with the amplifier, you will likely hear some sound distortion when you turn on your speakers, or nothing at all. This is usually because there is something wrong with the fuse or the capacitor. If you don't know where the fuse box is, you can check online or in the manual that came with your car, as each car will be a little different. A fuse box will usually be located in the front of the knee-well or under the dashboard, however. This will help you figure out whether or not the fuse is good or needs Touch the multimeter's red wire to one of the poles on the fuse. Touch the meter's black wire to the other pole. If you hear a beep, then the fuse is good, and your problem is likely with the capacitor. If you don't hear a beep, then the fuse is blown and needs to be replaced. Be sure to get the exact same fuse model. If you hear a beep, consider replacing the amp first. They are usually less expensive, and don't require soldering irons and desoldering pumps like new capacitors do. They should be working now. If they don't, then there might be something else wrong with your car's speakers. Consider taking your car in to the repair shop, and having a professional take a look at it.
Summary: Understand how bad amplifiers can affect sound. Open the fuse box. Get out your multimeter and set it to the conductivity test. Hook up the multimeter to the fuse box. Listen for any beeps. Turn on the car, and test the speakers.
