[@missgreenieweenies]

I cried reading your story. You completely inspire me

[@Shadow-nlr]

Thank you for getting right to the point.

[@billeybop]

Great video and thanks for educating me on the ins and outs of lily separation!

[@marionbaber6511]

thanks Mike ,I've just potted up 8pots using your method except i used 3_4 fans per pot . they are already growing .after8days of drying .

[@missgreenieweenies]

You are worth your weight in gold. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!!!

[@mariamontejo8621]

I love your videos!!😊❤️

[@LayDeeTee1]

Thanks for this video✅ Is there a reason you cut the top? Can you not cut the top or roots & just plant the divided clumps?

[@valhallaproject9560]

Thanks, Mike, that was very helpful.

I live in Texas on the coast. When should I start planting them. Right now it is September 5th. I love them but have never planted any. Do they need sun or partial shade?

[@debrakirkpatrick9276]

Very nice demonstration - thank you!

[@ionedyer7313]

demonstration was right on. wish Id seen it sooner 3 yr ago

[@Nancytoday]

Wow, I want to do that! I have lots of daylilies this year (went berserk at a clump sale last autumn). How many fans will grow from one fan in one year?

[@krikli163]

NancyToday From my experience, if you plant 1 fan, it will grow one on each side of it. So 1 fan will produce 2 more. However, if your lilies are in a big clump, only the outer fans can produce another daylily. That's why division is so important if you want more plants. This is all making me think I should be getting to work on my favorite daylilies!

[@davidunderwood4341]

As many as 5 from my experience. I started 2 years ago with like 5 plants and now have at least 300 healthy, good sized daylilies in 1 gallon containers ready to sell in summer 2017, I will most likely divide half my stock, and sell the rest so customers will get a full, multi fan plant that was divided the previous Spring that had all summer and the following spring to grow!

[@picksixand3]

Hi can you divide daylilies in the spring...I really like your videos..ty

[@KyLinda]

Thank you!

[@aarongmoore]

This was excellent, thank you.

[@shdjs]

Very informative. Thanks.

[@ksero1000]

I wish I saw this video before I planted mine. I did EVERYTHING WRONG. This will be interesting.

[@kjmonosr]

Can this be done with hybrid types as well?

[@dustinhoover3437]

Hey Mike, what do you know about propagating daylillies and patents? I have around 50 rare varieties that I am propagating, but not selling yet because I am trying to figure if that's legal. They have varietal names and everything.

[@SparkyOne549]

What do you mean by rare? Are they registered with the AHS? Regardless, it is legal to sell unless the hybridizer has a specific contract with you. Daylilies can sell for more if they have a registered name.

[@mimichan5864]

why don't you just separate the rhizomes(like I do) replant the fan cuts? I pull 200+ rhizomes from 3-4 plants. js

[@alexiadalton3329]

Hi! New to this. So you can propagate dallies from simply planting the rhizomes?

[@thatlittlevoice8292]

Daylilies .. because even gardeners can have too much of a good thing.
