Lotus Division?

[finnpond]

 
OK...  I have a Chawan Basu(sp) that is going on 3 years old...  I think it needs repotting and dividing...  I 've read all the threads about planting but not much is said about dividing them before potting them up.. 

Is this the time of year to do that?  And if it is how do you do it?

Thanks... Dave

Assuming that it is still dormant, yes repot now.

Lawanna has an excellent tutorial at Koishack:

Or the web archives of the plant place....
