Options for a 5-6 Year Old Plant
- Quartering: Slice rootball top-to-bottom with sharp knife into 4 sections. Pot each in 4-inch pots. Expect temporary wilting/leaf loss.
- Root Pruning: Shave 1/2 inch off sides and bottom of rootball. Return to same pot with fresh mix. Discard trimmings.
Recommendation
Root pruning is less traumatic and maintains plant size. Quartering yields multiple plants but with more shock.
