I am hoping someone can help me! I have had this corn plant for about 5 years and I am wondering if I can separate the plant and move the smaller one into another pot. I heard that you cannot separate the mother plant. Any advice would be so helpful!

You can go ahead and separate the plants from each other 👏  
These are 3 separate plants in the same pot so there shouldn’t be any problems with separating them.
