Step 1. Dig the hole for your new plant.
Step 2. Add compost or peat moss to the hole.
Step 3. Choose the plant you want to split. Hostas are a great choice.
Step 4. Split the plant, cutting out a portion of the plant with your shovel.
Step 5. Place the part you split off in the hole you prepared.
Step 6. Cover with soil and top off with mulch.
Step 7. Water well and watch it grow big enough to be split again in a few years.
