Reposting since I put this in the wrong group earlier:

Am I crazy to try to split a peperomia?

My frost peperomia was already very full when I bought it and I’ve never been happy with the size. It has a single root ball with multiple stems, and according to Google 🧐 if I carefully cut away a few stems with some roots I can divide it. Has anyone tried this? I don’t want to kill it.

Same. Never divided a peperomia specifically, but have divided root balls several times and all involved lived to tell the tale.
