Wow such a gorgeous plant 😍 I’m jealous

Thank you! We will see how she likes it! I put her on the window with her leaves facing away from it and after a few hours she turned herself around.

Omg, she is simply beautiful. Now I want one.

Really beautiful. It’s easy to separate the pups. Pull them apart after clearing away the soil. It’s important to leave as much roots on the baby plant to increase its chance of survival. Patience is the key. Treat it like an archeological dig and carefully brush away the soil to untangle the baby roots from the parent’s roots. Good luck.

Thanks! That is what I was planning to do... just use my hands!

Update: I separated her into all these plants! She was so crowded in her small pot!
