Propagate Banana, Canna Lily, Elephant Ear & Giant Bird of Paradise Tropical Plants with a Power Saw

Propagating tropical plants is much easier using a power tool. In this video, I used a reciprocating saw to propagate a Banana plant, a Thai Rainbow Canna Lily, an Alocasia Calidora Elephant Ear plant, and a Giant Bird of Paradise. I look for pups, suckers, and offshoots to separate them from the mother plant to propagate my tropical plants
I usually use a pruning saw and my Root Slayer shovel to propagate my tropical plants. But the last time I propagated a Giant Bird of Paradise, the rhizome was too hard to cut through the rhizome. I decided to use my reciprocating saw to cut through the rhizome.
The reciprocating saw was a success! It made propagating much easier using a power tool. I just needed a long extension cord to reach my garden and the reciprocating saw cut through corms and rhizomes easily. Next time I have to propagate tropical plants with tough rhizomes, I will use my reciprocating saw to propagate them.

Good job uncle

[@Tropifornia]

Thank you niece!

[@davidbanner9001]

I like the saw method. I'll give it a go here in the UK for my Canna.

[@Tropifornia]

Canna rhizomes can get pretty large and thick, so having a power saw will help.

[@tropidutch]

Good plan to use your saw, some rhizomes are so tough to cut :)

[@Tropifornia]

I agree, especially the Giant Bird of Paradise. I'm getting too old to saw through these rhizomes manually lol.
