What should you do if your Liriope spicata starts to feel a bit overcrowded and its leaves stop looking their best?
Adrianna Howell
I totally get it—this is a tough one! I'd love to offer a couple of suggestions that I hope will help. First, let's talk about pruning. And second, let's think about giving it some nutrients to keep it thriving.
Adrianna Howell
I suggest dividing the clump in early spring or late fall. Remove some of the old and weak shoots to improve the soil quality. Drainage problems or nutrient deficiencies can cause overcrowding, so take care of that.
Adrianna Howell
Do the pruning right away. Early spring or late fall are the best times to divide the liriope.

This usually shows signs of stress to your plants, such as yellowing leaves and reduced growth. Divide the clumps with a spade or garden fork in spring or fall when the weather is cool; prepare the stone planter site with well-drained soil, or you can change it with manure or compost. Give a space of 12-18 inches. This will grow well.

Agave angustifolia is a popular houseplant, most commonly grown in the Oaxaca region of Mexico. Many people think this plant is the same as Agave tequilana, but the two plants are different in the appearance of their leaves. Agave angustifolia has white margins on its leaves and is smaller than Agave tequilana.
