I'd also like to know what to do with my bulb
plants over the winter.
As for dividing bulbs, whatcha can do is take a sharp clean knife, and just kinda cut the bulb right down the middle. I did this yesterday when i went to my friend's house. She wanted to give me some of her Irises, but the bulbs were too entwined together to separate. Seriously, they were like, one giant ring that the
plants were
growing out of o.O about as thick as a large sweet potatoe.
But ya, we dug up the entire
plant, and sliced the giant bulb into several lil bulbs. We made sure that each bulb had a
plant growing out of it though. So i donno if you can do it without a
plant growing from it. I also donno how to have bulbs that you can just
plant any time
sorry lol. I do recommend doing it during middle to late fall though, cuz at that time they're about ready to go into their dormancy period. So it won't hurt as much ^.^
