i have a bay leaf plant i just aquired which has approx 12 twigs growing up at about 18 inches tall, should i just leave this or divide into several one stem plants, or is this just owners preference, please help

How many stems are in the pot? Or is it 12 individual plants each with their own root system?

hi there,
this looks like 12 individual plant stems in a root ball mass, im concerned that if i try to split the plant wont survive, B&Q sell this bay plant like this 12 squashed in a pot

Hello again,

I think I would leave them be, as each individual stem might just be newly rooted in which case I would leave them to establish and avoid disturbing them.

ok thank you very much for all your help in this
