These guys are hard since the stiffen up. I'd try to lay it on its side, and the remove the pot, and divide it out. And if you accidentally break a top off one of the larger. They usually replant fairly well. And then you're not dealing with the curves

Ok thanks. Do you use any rooting powder if it breaks or do they root on there on?

Ypu can use rooting powder, I've done with or without, and both seemed to work fine
