My plant has gotten too big for it's pot. How do I go about separating the roots to separate it into 2 pots?

Answer 1

Do you know it can be divided? Some plants can and some can't.
Tap the pot on it's side to loosen the plant. Take it out and tease the roots. Cut the root ball in half. Then transfer each half to a new pot. Make sure that there are healthy leaves and roots on each half. Be sure to press the soil firmly around it. Leave about and inch or so from the top of the soil to the top of the pot so water will stay in it. Water thoroughly. Allow the new plants to recover for a few weeks. Don't move them a lot and don't worry if the leaves droop a bit at first. Happy gardening!
