Rhubarb: transplanting advice
Anyone got advice for sharing a rhubarb plant?
3 or 4 colleagues at work expressed an interest when I offered to split
and share our giant rhubarb plant.
I split off some roots about 4 weeks ago and planted them in large pots,
in a mix of soil, all-purpose compost, and a smidgin of 6X.
The resulting plants *seem* ok, in that the couple of leaves that were
attached remain reasonably healthy looking, though no new shoots have
appeared. (But yes, I know rhubarb is on the way out by this time of
year.)
I'm going to pass on these pots in a few days, but I'm wondering if my
colleagues will ultimately be disappointed: does anyone have any further
comments on what I should do or should have done?
Last question: can rhubarb be grown successfully in a pot (one colleague
asked).
cheers
