I just spent a half hour or more searching several web sights and I
still could not find the best time to transplant jack-in-the-pulpit. Is
it best done in the spring before the new growth starts, or wait till
the fall after the leaves have died back? I have a large plant that is
growing where I now longer desire it to be as I want to put something
else in it's place. Also, can the tubers be divided at transplant time?
Thanks, JAB

The best time to transplant Arisaema and other tuberous Aroids is in the
late summer or autumn when all the top growth has died back and the tubers
are dormant. That's also when they can be divided.

In the spring, the roots will develop before you see any top growth.

best would be fall after leaves die back, but if you can get enough root ball it
should be fine. those big bulbs are food storage after all. INgrid
