What a Job!
Spike has a new pot. Spike has a new life. I hope Spike is OK!
It was a hard job. I didn't have a pot big enough for him so I had to "divide" him. My hands aren't strong enough to break those roots apart! So I had to get one of my knives and cut them apart. I've been told that my knives aren't very sharp. I admit that was true of the knife I chose to use. I accidentally used the blunt edge of the knife and couldn't tell any difference from the sharp edge! It would have been quick work if I had used a circle saw, but that would surely have been extreme.
I finally got it pried apart and roots cut off enough to get it into two separate pots. It is not divided evenly but I did get him into two pots. I have an idea that it will be a long time till this plant blooms again. It may take a couple of years. But I'm pretty sure it will take hold and be healthy again.

You been a busy little lady today! I'll just bet you have wonderful growing things. When I was a kid, I used to tell my mom "I'll never want to work in the yard, EVER." She'd laugh because she knew it would be in my blood just as it was in hers. I hope you're having a good evening; I'm making my rounds before bedtime. Take care Nancy, and thanks for checking on me (Oh, yeah I know dees tings). :)
