I received a beautiful basket with assorted plants for my birthday. At what point to I separate these plants into their own spot?

I love your kitty 😍😁  
As for the basket I would probably separate them as soon as I got home but I’m not sure if it’s the best idea. I’m saying this from an OCD perspective only 🤔

Thank you for this info! Yes, Cupid is eyeing the basket for herself! I will go ahead and put them in a more proper container and place.

If you want to enjoy it as is for awhile double check that all the plants have relatively the same watering needs. I received a pretty arrangement last spring and one plant needed significantly more water than the other. I separated them and they’re still fighting their way back.
