I was given a Pink Quill for a Christmas present last year. She was in full beautiful bloom - gorgeous pink bracht and little purple flowers for a few weeks. She slowly died and I waited patiently for a pup as I was assured that is the norm for this Planta lifecycle. Eventually a pup started and has grown quite big. I was afraid to separate it from the old mother though and she’s been growing nice. Now I noticed there are two smaller pups! How exciting. I feel like I should probably separate them though. Thoughts? Are the two little ones too small to survive on their own yet? Any one have experience separating them out? I can’t even imagine figuring out the root situation.

Pups should typically be 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the mother plant first 🤷‍♀️

I think the big main one is probably okay then but the others are too little

Cut the bigger one off and the other ones will grow quicker
