Division, a less certain path, risks tearing the heart from the mother plant, a gamble that may yield bountiful offspring or a heartbreaking loss. The reward, however, is a triumph, a testament to perseverance; each successfully propagated plant, a precious jewel born from dedication and the earth’s subtle grace.
