       Replant the new pieces immediately, into other parts of the pond. If not needed immediately, they can be grown on in pots of wet compost.

      Dividing creeping plants

      This method applies to flowering rush (Butomus umbellatus), bog bean (Menyanthes trifoliata), bog arum (Calla palustris), water mint (Mentha aquatica) and lesser celandine (Ranunculus ficaria). The roots of these plants have a scrambling habit and can be increased by dividing the horizontal rootstock into sections.
