i watched the vid and got brave have just lifted and seperated the 8 large plants that form 1 bed in a damp patch of my garden.
in each case i cut them in half left half in the ground, the half i removed got cut into between 3 and 6 pieces depends how big the parent was, all the sections thus created needed 8" plant pots to fit in.
i currently have 20 new plants sat in pots waiting to be found new homes :-) and a load more to pot up in the morning :-)
Two years ago one of our customers moved house and asked us if there was anything we'd like from her garden - she had eleven different Hostas – yes please!
They went into our plot as they were for a year and last week I started to make new plants. Depends how old your clump is - but if it is old and quite wide you do have to put some wellie into it and I reckon it's best done when the shoots are about an inch high.
After lifting I hosed as much soil off as I could - two forks back to back into the crown and push handles away from each other – I found that I had to take smaller pieces off the sides first and then I could tease the individual shoots apart.
Replant a couple of inches apart each way and put a layer of hort grit around to hopefully deter slugs.
