Sumario:Division of clumps is the largest used technique of vegetative propagation spread with great success among the grasses. When it comes to commercial production of ornamental grasses, it is important to know the season that this practice is done to get plants of the best quality in the shortest possible time. According to some authors, division is usually best done when grasses are in active growth: late spring for the summer species and autumn or early spring for the winter ones. In this assay, the aim was to study the influence of the season in the division of Miscanthus sinensis "Variegatus", M. sinensis "Zebrinus", M. sinensis "Morning Light", Paspalum haumanii, Leymus arenarius, Pennisetum setaceum and Trichloris crinita in December and February, it was also evaluated the ornamental condition and precocity of plants obtained in autumn and into late spring with commercial purposes.The variables considered were: vegetative height, canopy diameter, and crown diameter, number of canes and percentage of survival. From commercial and productive point of view, it is advisable to realize the division in autumn to obtain precociousness only in M. sinensis "Variegatus" and in M. sinensis "Zebrinus". In the case of M. sinensis "Morning Light", P. setaceum, T. crinita, P. haumanii and Leymus is more appropriate spring division.
