It is very large & has been repotted several times – is it possible to split it without causing to much damage. Elaine

Anthurium (Flamingo Flower) can be propagated by division. You will need to remove the plant from its pot. Check for any off-shoots or ariel roots. These will be plant that are attached to the main stem but can easily be remove and still have a complete root foliage system. Some people refer to these as “babies”. You will remove them from the main stem and pot them in the same kind of soil as the parent plant. Care for them the same as the parent plant. I would not recommend splitting this plant in half.
My Anthurium has about 4″ of brown stems between the root ball and the leaves. If I repot it at the root ball, the brown stalk will be very unsightly. Will it come back from the bottom or what do I do.
You need to repot it at the same level.
What time of the year do you seperate anthuriums.
There’s not a specific time of year to separate anthuriums, but if it has outgrown its container, that’s when you need to separate it.
