My Tanzanian Zipper plant has grown like crazy since I got it. The pot is actually cutting in to them and the white sap coming out in a few places. My question is, how much bigger pot is ideal? Is it time to separate the plant and start new ones? And lastly what kind of planting medium is best for it. Ty for your help in advance!

Usually u would get a pot about an inch bigger . (This is just my opinion )➡️ u definitely can start separating but only if u want to

Personally I'd keep it together and just upsize the pot. Use a cactus/succulent soil that allows for quick drainage.
