Can Crinum be split?
Crinums are best divided in the winter when they are not actively growing. You can also dig around the clump, lift it, and then remove offshoot bulbs.
How do you prune a crinum?
I start to prune the crinum lily clump by using my folding saw to remove some of the outer stems completely. I cut them back as low to the ground as possible and because they are so full of liquid they cut really easily (not more than 10 seconds of sawing on each one before they snap off!). Each stem is quite heavy!
Do Crinum lilies multiply?
They multiply by dividing, so if one finds a bed of these that have been there for a long time, sometimes the bulbs will actually lift the plants above ground level. "One can drive around the city and see that phenomenon. I have never purchased a crinum lily.
When can I move Crinum bulbs?
Wait until the coldest part of the winter is past, and then transplant them in the spring when the weather is still mild, around late March or early April. Crinums are happiest when left alone and do not mind being crowded. Flowering often is reduced the year after the clump is divided.

Do Crinum lilies spread?
Crinums, or crinum lilies, are related to amaryllis. The bulbs have thick, fleshy roots and once planted, they do not like to be disturbed. Plan ahead and give your crinums a spot where they can stay for many years. Over time, the bulbs will enlarge and multiply.
How do you take care of a Crinum Lily?
Crinum lilies thrive for decades with little care as long as they're in the right location. They grow best in part shade, but tolerate about any amount of light. They feel equally at home in dry, sandy soil and in moist soil at the edge of a pond. (Moist soil is where they'll bloom best.)
Does Crinum Lily need full sun?
Plant the large bulbs in full sun or filtered light in early spring. As moisture helps this large plant become established, a few water retention pellets in the soil are useful when planting crinum lilies. ... In warmer zones, crinum flowers persist for most of the year.
