Re: splitting a plant
Sorry, found out its actually a Nymphaea Maculata not a Nymphaea stellata, its not a bulb plant.
I haver a book now and it says propagation is with shoots from a tuber, all I seem to have growing is loads of leaves and nothing else, growing very well though

Re: splitting a plant
Do you have a Tuber? Large Tubers can often just be divided ... healthy tubers can also be "nicked" with a razor blade and over time, a new tuber will grow from the nick ...
