cordyline australis shoots

| I bought a cordyline australis 2 years ago (approx half a meter tall. Its now just over three meters tall. It's got about 11 offshoots growing around the base. I know very little about these plants and was wondering if theres a way I can get the shoots and replant them else where without damaging the large one or the small offshoots. I'm quite new to gardening so could any replies please be easy to follow. |

| Never tried to divide these but the shoots contribute to a very ornamental presentation of the plant. Cordylines are often planted in clumps as they can look very attractive this way. If it was me I would be nipping back the main trunk to encourage the clumping look. I have grown them from stem cuttings quite successfully. If the shoots have a reasonable amount of roots attached you may be successful. |
