I’m going to need advice on how to split the pups \& repot them. They’re almost 6” \& I’m new to this type of plant. Thanks in advance

You don’t need to split them. They can just stay where they are. If you still want to remove them, I would suggest a YouTube video. It’s easy to split them and you want roots on the pups.

I’ve had success just severing the pups and the mother at the connection point beneath the soil, as long as the pups already have their own roots.

They grow pups cause they are lonely don’t split them until they crowd out the pot then repot in a longer rectangular style pot
